Todays work
- My project is about design and the process.
- How at the start there are too many choices and you are confused.
- To how you decide on an idea (the mind map, for example. And experiments with different materials; wool, wire, glass and paper.
- This is why I displayed it in the way of an 'explosion' Design is about exploration, there is no clear 'answer' or 'final piece'. It is creative.
- It is open, this foundation year is an 'opening'.
- I wanted to explore what design is and what I have learnt this year before I move on.
- When doing this though I discovered that instructions were crucial to this year of learning and to anything.
- My 'explosion' was/is all about what I learnt this year.
- Therefore instructions. I am focusing on this first stage of the process I saw no reason to strive for a 'final piece'.
- However from carrying through this project I have realised that instructions could be a product.
- THey can be deemed as a problem in that they are often traditionally too small, can lost or damaged. What about if the instructions just became part of the product?
- A visual and interactive part of the product.
- Design is about discovering a product and finding solutions.
- I have taken this idea of making basic instructions that I have followed this year interesting.
- From these samples the idea could be taken further. Look out for the instructions through my exhibition.
