Major Project LCC July 1th to November 10 2010
My overall aim with both this project and my studies in general is to challenge conventions, and to explore the possibilities of solving complex problems with uncommon solutions. The last couple of years I have become increasingly interested in social, critical and service design.
I wish the design I work with to be more than only an exploration of aesthetics, and to work with design that make practical solutions to everyday problems.
I believe that everything we create to some extent changes the world we live in. Every chair, every website and every poster modify our reality - “We cannot not change the world.” Consequently, everything we do as designers has an impact on the world. In my Major Project I will strive to make my impact a sustainable one.
My research question is: “How can I use graphic and service design to influence social behaviour?”
Sub question: “How can I use graphic, communication and service design to make a concept which makes people buy less bottled water?”
