Brief 1: A Conversation



This module enables you to develop the integrated design methodologies required to work in a dynamic, professional, creative and commercial environment.

The introduction of more demanding projects support and generate a greater in-depth knowledge and understanding of aesthetic, environmental, marketing and technical requirements of design for the creative industries. Emphasis is placed upon the ability to develop high-level flexible thinking approaches in the pursuit of creative solutions.



The assignments will incorporate a range of stringent professional requirements, involving personal time management, detailed research, creativity and originality, as well as a high level of technical expertise.


Take time to develop ideas and experiment with different media, materials and technologies. Play with instructions, reinterpret, disrupt, reinvent...


Considerations:
What’s the most important conversation for today?
Where is the most important place for the conversation to take place?
How will the conversation be heard?
Who will your audience be?

Who will you speak to?
What is the message?

What are your aims?

Who will benefit? 
What’s the most important conversation for the future?


Through the application of your chosen practice you are asked to research and develop a visual outcome that centres around the idea of ‘A Conversation’. 


Consider the conversation between yourself and technology, the internet, phone apps.

Look at current social behavior, group activities, communities, lifestyles, conventions, business, leisure, play. An external, political or social conversation that you may support or contest.


Consider the conversation creative industry professionals have with the notion of communication, technology and society.



Posters, Fanzines, Book, Magazine, E-zine, Manifesto, Marketing Strategy, Direct Mail, Advertising Campaign, Advertisements, Copy, Photography, Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, etc...).


Aims:

Requirements:

A portfolio of designs involving a high degree of creative and technical skill and also market justification, in which there is a clear reasoned and personal response to the requirements of the brief.
