What Is Design For Screen?


The Brief

Use your Design Context Blog to document your ongoing investigation of design for digital media.

Investigate the question 'What is Graphic Design For?' by exploring a broad range of contemporary design practice. Your research should aim to establish an informed understanding of your own opinions and prefereneces.

Your findings should be posted to your blog. Regularly and supported by appropriate comments, evaluations and analysis.

Research Suggestions

Use the websites section of e-studio as a springboard for your investigation.

Consider the broader use of graphic design skills and principles in designing a range of different products, scales and contexts.

Be aware of the function, audience and context of the work that you are analysing. Is it being used to inform, educate, promote, persuade, entertain or engage?

Considerations

This brief should form the basis on an ongoing and increasingly individual online critical journal.

The blog format will allow you to represent work across a broad range of contemporary graphic design. You should aim to evaluate your own work and your progress in relation to the material that you are collecting.

You can use the websites and blogs listed overleaf as a starting point but you should aim to add to this list as your investigation grows.

Interim Deadline

Your blog will be reviewed as part of interim crits, progress tutorials and sign up surgeries.

Module Submission

MONDAY 14TH FEBRUARY.
