Week 2


Today we discussed some ideas and the timeline of how research and if we haven't gotten an idea it's alright. If we have an idea, we do the research and refine what we want to do.

I sort of have an idea, which is 'breaking the rules', I don't know where to go with it but i am looking at the minority communities. The more rules that are set out the more rules that are broken. I was influenced by Ben Carson and along the way I looked at a graffiti artist Banksy.




Looking at things:

Looking at how time has changed the way things are formed and how the human behaviour has changed over time. Talking about whats next and how consumption is a problem and things happen at different times in the worlds timeline. Using these titles style, philosophy, cultural formation find your ideas and look at what is important in the now and could work on what is really important now than doing something that was important 60 years ago. Identifying what is important within society could really help with your project. What do people care about.

This week we had a critique on where abouts our projects were heading and if we were headed the right direction. I did kinda struggle to find an issue or just a theme to base my design project around but I have come up with a theme which is suicide awareness. It is a hard topic to talk about but I believe as a Polynesian in NZ, we need to talk about it. It is destroying families and wasting lives. I was advised to be more specific with my audience and find a way to get the message across to kids and teens in low decile communities.  Audience: 13 to 19 and mostly highschool kids. Why am I doing this project? Purpose? It is important for people to care about the lives of the children of Aotearoa and to care about the reputation of our country. NZ has the highest number of suicides for a developed country. There are campaigns out there that people don't know about but I want people of NZ to know that suicide is an existing monster that lives among our children.
