During the course of OUGD603, my aim will be to look into the ways
in which design is used commercially, competitively and professionally. Some of
the subjects that are likely to be explored in the projects will include
packing design, commercial use of design, advertising campaigning, printing
methods, marketing of work and selling work.
Some of the contexts that I plan
to explore further include societal values, technology and mental health as I
have previously looked into these subjects during past briefs. In terms of my
research led brief, I will be focusing my investigation on youth culture and the
changes that are becoming more noticeable over time. The research that is
likely to take place will explore human interaction and how we form groups
based on interests in certain activities, hobbies and music taste. More
specifically, the brief will explore the nihilistic culture of modern day youth
and why some believe they are an ‘identityless’ generation.
For some of the other briefs in the module, I will be using
personal interests as a starting point for the investigations. For example, I'm
interested in politics and persuading others to be more politically involved.
Therefore, one of my briefs will aim to propose a solution to the ways we
involve ourselves in politics and encourage younger generations to become more
actively involved in political debate, beyond the confines of social media. I
will also be creating personal work that will benefit my website, clothing
brand and eventually my portfolio by the end of the year.
In terms of how this will
benefit my practice in the end, I plan to be able to learn new skills and build
on the ones I already have. This will include a better understanding of
professional approaches to packaging and the necessary design choices required,
as well as ways to work both independently and in collaboration with others of
different skill sets.
