Ideas for Self Lead Briefs

Notes from welcome talk and things to consider when designing:


  • Make work based on genuine concerns and problems! things i'm passionate about
  • Don't constrain the briefs you write to graphic design problem solving exercises
  • Make a difference to the real world!
  • Modern understanding
  • Don't stick to the familiar, make something innovative

Initial ideas and mind maps for briefs:

1. Project about pandas- making sure they don't become endangered again and the importance of them in the world, as I feel very passionately about them (my favourite animal)

2. The importance of children playing outside and away from their phones OR... the importance of  us adults still doing childhood activities and things we used to enjoy as a child as self care methods. This is something we need as adults when life is too stressful. App? Design for screen? Nostalgic childhood aesthetic

3. Tackling the inequality towards women- the pressure society puts on women that we have to depend on a man/get married in order to have value and be secure and successful in life. The pro single ladies project? Research could include surveys where men and women are asked the same questions regarding this topic...recording the differences between results.

4. Similar to idea 3...feminism topic about the judgement women receive from society regarding body count and sex, and how men don't get judged the same way, why is this???

5. Bratz dolls- passion project, big part of my childhood growing up. A look book...collaboration with a fashion student and make physical tiny clothes similar to the ones in the look book.

6. Period poverty- the fact that women shouldn't have to pay for pads and tampons as it is a natural thing that happens to us, goes against our human rights.
