Theory into practice briefing

Theory into practice briefing

Today we had a briefing on the practical side to context of practice. We finally have the chance to put all our theory knowledge into a design outcome, in this case in the form of a publication. A publication isn't directly linked with been a book, it can be anything ranging from physical print to a digital app to a website, so long as it has contextual information in it can be classed as a publication.

Whats important to consider is that the publication needs to be informed by the theory subject that is going to be included in the texts. And the texts included in our publication will have links with the content off our 3000 word essay. This will form the main research theme along side the original questions themes which had relevant too:

Sustainability

Consumerism

Modernism

Social Impacts

Propoganda 

Visual Language

In my case the essay I did was on hip-hop music and the urban/street scene has influenced fashion design and culture, along with graphic design. This touches on social impacts and visual language mainly and elements on consumerism. But the main umber all would be social impacts. 

To inform my publication I plan on looking at existing physical and digital publications and I will decide what would be most relevant to my subjects concept. I will then go on to create ideas on how the publication will be created and put together inspired by my visual research. 

As a whole the publication will be made up of 3 sectors these are shown bellow from the brief itself.

RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS - You will need to review your existing research undertaken in response to the lectures, seminars and tasks from the first part of this module in order to identify specific areas of interest or points of focus. These could take the form of quotes, images, examples, critical responses, tasks, principles, ideas or concepts.

DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS - What do you want to say and how do you want to say it? How will you translate your research into content? What form or format will it take? Questions, answers, statements, quotes, images, photographs, drawings, diagrams etc. ? Can you combine these elements ? If so....How? How will you organise the content? How will you make it interesting? 

RESOLUTION CONSIDERATIONS - What is a publication? How is it made? What format could it be? How is the format relevant to the content? Is this important? What are the conventions of publication? How do you work with these? What are the rules? Do you have to obey them?

All the above needs to be taken into account to create a well informed publication informed by my chosen subject of interest.
