ACTIVITY 5B


For this essay I need to choose one of my studio brief and make a plan for my graphic third year.I choose the visual thinking-experiment & experiential for shipping forecast. I am very like this project and happy made it. But there were also have many problems in my design.

Following this project required us to design anything just fit for the area. We can do any form for it like the graphic photos, film, model and so on. Just by us. I did a model and the model’s poster for this project. 3D and 2-dimensional, I like three-dimensional design. 3D can make me feel more really. So I choose do a model for the 2C project. But I am not very happy with the result. Sometimes reality and imagination there ware so many different places. On the other side I didn’t do the project a full understanding and preparation was also one of my big mistake.

At here, I want to say some things in my further design if I do the project like that one. Following this semester Jonathan’s first 4 seminars teach us the 4 ways to design: (maybe some ways is not suit for my design but I will think them at the first.)

1.The consumption of design

-Read the books (the culture of design-chapter 4) to find the ways

-Find and select source material (from different discipline who you do not know well)

-Analysis ---taste, influences, possessions and environment

-Note, making and discussion.

2. Experiment

-Read essay “The Rhetoric of the Image” and discuss it with group members

-Select three random images

-From a selection of people from different backgrounds to collect stories.

-Select or create a fourth image to see if you can make people read just one “story” or meaning.

-Use text to create a single reading of the images.

3. Design safari

-Choose one of the activities and observe how people behave, the “rules” and rituals

-Reflect on and discuss your experience

4. Interview

-Choose a topic and contact a small number of interview subjects.

-Conduct a survey of people to find out about their attitudes to your area of design

-Discuss the results with others and write your own notes of your findings.

Obviously, from all the ways for the tutor teach us is the teamwork. This is also telling us teamwork is a very importance way in our further work.

After read the tip point I begin to notice small thing that is can change the whole phase. Here the consumption of design way is like the tip point. First I will to find some shipping forecast pictures. Choose some form that I like it than watching them carefully. Find some interesting places. Thinking why them have this and for what. I will take some notes about the questions. For these questions I will not to go to internet or books to find the answers, I will own one the they should consider these issues and these issues will make their own detailed conjecture and imagination to make a variety of the situations. The best case is that these answers and I guess almost. Such initial plan is a good even complete. Following by large number search information to find a correct answer. For the correct answer and their answer were compared. Take my ideas and correct answers to complement each other. In this step of study, I would have a lot of ideas about this work. I need to carry out all my ideas and record. In my opinion this is a step forward in term of design.

At this time thought the strength of the team. I think I need to do that which the hands of the information to others (of course, there is not necessarily a design-related personnel, from children to the elderly are acceptable. The more different people can give different perspectives more answers) explore together. For example, I want that these hands have been aware of the information and their own ideas and different people to share. I always have different doubts and problems need help, perhaps they are not the best nor the answer is correct, but I am able to solve many problems at the same time I can get a better idea to design my work. At the same time the majority of them to give me the answer is also an objective, multi-perspective. This is something very important point.

Then the same I need to find some especial photos where I will design. The best is not to find many photos, a few photos as long as it can prove to be the region’s photograph on it. The same way as that find some people and to show them the pictures. Before I show them the photos I need one my own idea’s photo (Photoshop or sketch is all ok just make sure people can understand what you draw). I do not need to tell them any information about the photos. Let them tell me a story or an idea about the photographs after them read the pictures. I always can get some fantastic story. After this I should show them the last picture and let them link them tell me the story make the end of the story. Concluded that they have given me the story.

The last, if there is a chance I can go to the area where I will design place to understand the local customs and cultural backgrounds. Conditions are not allowed, and then there are many solutions to solve it. I can find some of those areas where I am a live characteristic of restaurants, shops and so on. At the same time also pay attention to those areas of people’s words and the deeds and habits. Looking for opportunities and people in those areas to talk more to understand them.

After all of this I think I will get a very good idea about my design.

This is my entire plan to use the way develop my design. Thanks.
