This project is selfish in a good way and all about you. We are taking the client out of the equation. It is a chance for you to be motivated to create something everyday through self-authorship. You will choose a theme that reflects your interests and execute something according to that theme each day for 20 weekdays or 25 days with weekends. This is part one of this project. There will be a surprise part 2 following it.
The second half of this project encourages you to transform your passion project into a finished piece and marketable commodity. This means considering all possible outlets for sharing your work with others while sustaining it as a potential long-term project, product, or business.
Design is not only about giving form to something; it is a tool for political transformation that must consider social and ethical points of view. In this project we will address the problems of developing identities and campaign materials for a product, service, system, grassroots campaign, installation, etc… that creates awareness, engagement, and a call-to-action around a social issue that you will explore. This should be something forward-thinking, thought-provoking, valuable, inclusive, and accessible. Push the boundaries of this project to elevate your portfolios and make a difference.
