Category Archives: Design Practice II

In preparation for our final design practice class I was really interested in creating another method that goes back to my initial values of what it is like to design from what we have got. Make the most of the time that we have with our loved ones and use this love to design. ThroughContinue reading “Week Six: The Degustation”

plan of action- what do I want to achieve and how am I going to achieve this? write a shopping list of things I would like to achieve and can see myself achieving. create and write out a list of my methods that relate to my design process – how each of these methods isContinue reading “Week Five: Plan of Action”

From the very first week of this project I was really interested in using the process of research as a means to create a series of modular elements that can be rearranged in different ways to generate a variety of modular models. However, as I started this process, I slowly began to realise that thisContinue reading “Week Five: Reflection on Practice”

As my research question sits at the moment and as a driving factor for my project always i have chosen to start by introducing my research question followed by my works context and relation to the context and distribution channels matrix.

When presenting the 51 models that i had created which related to the “raiding the pantry” exercise i was really interested in emphasizing the importance and thinking that had gone into each element that i had used in my design and how the book is the center of the making and the being of myContinue reading “Week Three: Layout Planning”

In our last class we gathered together all of our ideas and work into a series of models and a 200 word statement to present. This 200 word statement was to explain the thinking behind the project and the key concepts that we are focusing on and why we are making what we are doing.

This weeks task “cooking with gas” was a task used to help us think about the processes and methods that we use when we practice and how we could expand and dive deeper into why we do different things throughout our design process in relation to the ingredients that we had chosen from last weeksContinue reading “Week Two: Cooking with Gas”

Through this lecture we followed cooking and following a recipe as a means of understanding design practice as a whole, from a starting idea, through research and into practice/production. Using cooking as a metaphor.
