IDEATION TECHNIQUES
Ideate/making/brainstorming

In class we went through some ideation techniques that can be helpful for idea generation.
The words I got were RED & DRAGON. These concepts are in my workbook. they were helpful exercises but im not sure about my idea now...


Phrase: Whats good for the goose is good for the gander


As independent study I did further ideation with the same words and phrases. Im finding my issue still quite broad and Im thinking of pivoting my idea.

Week 4, 8.9.17

08.09.17 making further poster designs today. these are two that im happy with. still happy with the "housing crisis annual" one from initial feedback session - just have to think about if im happy with doing the illustration side of things or if it will be too time consuming. In class we went through an exercise looking at different uses of the head image and the heart image. I did find this helpful as it showed that you dont always have to be so straight forward with iconography. Ive also started thinking about the text/image relationship. I think some stronger concepts that I liked before the initial feedback session were the ones that said "home sweet home" - perhaps look into that further.

Week One, Independent study

HOUSING CRISIS Understand, define, ideate After sessions in class and brainstorming there was an abundance of potential ideas. The topic for my inquality poster is housing --> housing crisis --> lack of housing --> property speculators buying property and treating them as their main income. In 2016 housing prices rised the fastest they had in 12 years. Also in the 2016 report, The Inequality Paradox:  Why Inequality Matters Even Though It Has Barely Changed. They dubunked myths about inequality and misperceptions of the public. “Inequality in incomes has been flat for decades. The housing crisis has caused real inequities, and real inequalities in lived experience, and real hardship. Trying to solve a housing problem by focusing on income levels simply will not work.” One Kiwi in five is in poverty even before you start looking at  housing  costs, says anti-poverty campaigner Max Rashbrooke.
