week 1

Research Ideas:

 I am passionate about the minority and through design I am looking at how breaking rules could help communities.

Week 3

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.

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 s...

Week 1 (second half)

For week 1 we had Toby Morris speak to our pastoral group about his experiences as a designer and how his failures became his biggest success. We also had our compass map which helped up the direction of the next half our our project. We discussed the 'what' and 'why' of my project. Through the holiday I had done a lot of thinking, doing and discussing the direction of my project and it is coming close to a solution. I went around the community and gathered information of places where I could use to paint on murals .
