Studio Practice: OUGD405 Brief 2

Brief 2
Design Process - Research

Produce a body of work that investigates the term/concept/value/number

100 by collecting, recording, documenting and categorising.

You will prepare a two min presentation on this body of work..

Considerations

Identify a specific content in relation to your theme that will become

your individual focus for this brief.
You must collect the following:

You can collect in excess of 20 pieces of information if appropriate.
How do you translate, manipulate and process your information within

the context of “100”?

Content for work can often stem from your own interests, passions,

obsessions and opinions. It is recognition of and an investigation into

these personal concerns that help you to develop an individual voice within

the creative industry.

Tone of voice

You are collecting and recording a range of observations, ideas, scenarios

and interests. Have a camera with you at all times and don’t pre-judge the

type of images that might be useful.

Take a surplus of photographs and collection additional information then

edit it down later. The more choices you have the easier it will be to make

discoveries, analyse, evaluate and create connections.

My Brief Analysis

To collate a body of research on something that is personal to me

and relevant to collections so for example something I collect, a

family member collects or friends - to then document it using

To use the information I have gathered to create a 2 minute presentation

this could be a physical, a powerpoint etc,
