Semiotics: Rhetoric, meaning. Points of view, focus on visual techniques. Unpacking design issues from the everyday happenings.
Using issues from the world today as design projects. Asking questions like 'What if?' and 'How come?' Looking at ideas through different lenses of
– Style: What is something literally, what is it made of (eg. a cotton tote bag with a coffee logo on it)
– Philosophy: Big notions around ideas (eg. Marxism, Feminism)
– Cultural Formation: Influencers (Government, Monarchy, Education, Religion, Gender)
Topic example: How can millennials be connected with art and culture
What does attract millennials? Analyse that. How do they work? Which look and feel to they respond to, look into the 2-way dialogue of social media etc. Use a case study lens, like the NZSO in this case. Look for similarities in the case study with what millennials respond to. What is missing, what are the differences? How can we fill these for millennials so that they engage more with the NZSO?
