Thursday 21st - Update 2

Firstly I need to summarise my project.


Make the project 'Openings' clear in what it is about. 


 I plan to draw upon and focus on the importance of ideas rather than 'final pieces'.


 I have been looking back on this past Foundation year and want this project to focus on 'foundations'. Openings in the sense of what this year could lead to, beginnings. As well as literally just visuals of openings to portray this. When looking at how I start projects and evaluating my work. I realised a lot of what we do is via instruction. 


 It is mainly how we learn. Which is crucial to idea development and design. This idea of instruction being so important may not have been apparent to you before and what you thought of as the 'design process'; however in a way, me suggesting this, had instructed you to think of it. 
I have taken this idea of 'instructions'. So behind the theory of the project, of how 'ideas develop and open up' there is a more traditional subject matter to the project. 


 I will explore the design process, expressing all my ideas/possible projects and making the process clear. My space will be curated to portray this. This design of an exhibition space after all it is just as important as any other stage of design,(and possibly the area I'am most interested in). 


 I will not have 'final pieces' of such as I want to get across how I believe, at any stage of design an idea can be changed, there may never be just one possible conclusion. Therefore I want to create samples of possible answers from a variety of materials. With some suggestions of 'final use' or design development for them to become products. One idea is to make 'instructions' more interesting and inviting. 


 My idea of my samples being that they are covered in the instructions of how they were made. Could this be transferred to current products on the market, for example flat pack furniture or anything you have to assemble from parts. Could the instructions be on the actual pieces and packed in the order they will be needed by the customer.
