Week 6 – Research
This week we're looking into our developing strategy and project plan for our new project - this is our industry set project, so it's something that has a lot more focus initially as the brief is set from someone else, but also gives us the opportunity to really delve in deep into a topic with… Continue reading Week 6 – Research

Choosing a Brief: CREATIVE CONSCIENCE : I previously knew about this brief and upon reading decided to set aside my preconcieved ideas of what it's about. They focus on the idea of a Global Movement, I love this idea of togetherness and how, as a whole, we can help tackle these problems. They ask for… Continue reading Week 5 – Workshop Challenge

Industry Set This week marks the start of a new brief - 8 weeks long! I'm actually really excited to have such a long time to spend on a new project.

Miller put this really clearly in stating that through discussion and initial sketches and research you find the direction you… Continue reading Week 2 – Research
