Design can impact interactions
Communication
Adaptation
Orientation in space and time
What are types of communication?
How do we adapt our communication for our interactions?
What makes an interaction either positive or negative?
How does design impact interactions?
How has human interaction adapted/changed over time?
We are now connected more than ever.
You must develop a solution (or range of solutions) that positively impacts how people engage and interact with one another.
You must target one of the following audiences/clients:
Peers
Community members
Families
Suggested solutions may be, but are not limited to, the following ideas:
A social or public space (living room, park/playground, café, community centre, bus/subway stop, or transportation vehicle)
Furniture for a shared space
A collaborative game
An anti-bullying or inclusivity advert/awareness campaign
A website, book, manual or pamphlet outlining social etiquette, sensitive communication or cultural customs
Food for sharing (e.g. a communal feast, a snack for a picnic or sports)
A culinary experience
A community kitchen
A collective fashion show
A sports or group uniform/attire
Within Criterion A, you must select a target audience/client from the options above and analyse and inquire into:
the need for a solution
the identification and prioritization of primary and secondary research
existing products that inspire a solution.
You must also:
create a design brief which reflects the analysis of your research with reference to the global context and statement of inquiry.
