Design context workshop

Just had a design context workshop.. very helpful! The aim was to give us somewhere to start regarding the contextual book we have to produce.

I came up with 5 subjects (I could only think of 4 at the time). I wrote a short statement for each which described what I was going to focus on within the subject. These were then followed by a few questions I had about each subject and statement.

Food - Obesity - The increase in percentage of obesity in children

-Why do children become obese?

-What designs are effective to create awareness of the problem?

-How can it be tackled?

-What food groups are there?

-How do we know how much to eat?

Print - Finishes - The effectiveness of different print finishes

-Who uses print finishes?

-Why are there different print finishes?

-How many are there?

-How do we know when to use a particular print finish?

-What is print?

Paper - Stock - How different stocks can become an effective part of design

-How many stock types are there?

-Can specific stock types be used only within particular designs/contexts?

-Does stock affect binding methods?

Sustainability - Environment - Preservation of the environment for future generations

-How can people help towards the preservation?

-What materials are sustainable?
