Beginning 03/10/2011

A group trip was conducted to the V&A during which everyone was required to select three objects of interest and analyse them through the ‘mediating lens’ as described in the design context diagram. The objects were analysed and the context of production and consumption examined. The concept of the ‘person manifesto’ was introduced where all participants were asked to examine why the objects were chosen, what they thought of it and how they’d change it in regards to their own personal manifesto. Early identification of a personal manifesto was created. It was later developed by researching existing manifestos, for example Dieter Rams manifesto. The final manifesto: Design should be safe, animal friendly, ethical and socially responsible.
