Here is the version of my SOI that I brought to the tutorial:
And a list of ideas for content in my design context publication:
- Web-Based Publication
- Practitioners and Studios
- Interviews
- Products/Designs
- Articles on Subject
- Book Extracts and Quotes
- Own writing on subject
- Tutorials and Guides
- Tools of Design
After talking about my current SOI draft and DC content possibilites we came to the following points that I need to take into consideration:
- We need to prepare a 5 minute presentation on my DC decisions next Wednesday.
- Try to find things that haven't necessarily been considered as connected previously.
- My publication should define my practice, it should be a book that I would want to but myself.
- I should pay close attention to my potential users and how they think.
- Look at functional and emotive design.
- Look at a range of interfaces across a variety of devices and contexts.
- Looking at ranges in my DP and DC will increase the potency of my ideas.
- Consider 'Rainy Day Design'; small bits of design practice related to my DC investigation that may come in handy for future briefs.
