—give me something i'll want to keep forever.
tip — remember this is primarily a design communication design thinking workshop.
ok
researching me to make informed decisions
lateral thinking — what is it that I (ME) would / could cherish forever
if it's made / realised then all the better.
if it needs explaining, then you should find a way to explain it in the context of the piece rather than as a note attached to it as an excuse for not putting that thinking into the work.
Research -
I started the process researching in to Ian Anderson's design work and the TDR web page, This gave me an insight in to Ian's aesthetic. I noticed that he uses lots of bright colours with in his work.
This research gave me an insight in to Ian's aesthetic, but it didn't give me many ideas on which to create the irreplaceable object for Ian Anderson. I then researched in to interviews and seminars that Ian had given. that's when i came across the following quote:
"IF A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS, I'LL TAKE THE THOUSAND WORDS PLEASE"
I thought this was an interesting quote and decided to create a book that Ian could record his design and thoughts in. I thought the contents of the book would become irreplaceable to Ian. I then thought that creating a belly band for a book would be an even stronger concept as Ian could use it over and over again.
I created a belly band and trialled a range of different bright colours.
In the end i decided to go with a bright orange colour. I thought this was the most eye catching. I also paired the belly band with a black note book so it really stood out. I was successful in earning a place on the workshop.
