Weeks 23-24 I spent some time working on how the Workbox would look, and played around with a visual identity. Hope was a big theme of both of the original workshops. Hope that things are getting better, that the next generation are more inclusive and less sexist. I wanted to incorporate this with a boldContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 4 – Deliver”

MA Project: Phase 4 – Deliver
Weeks 21-22 I have used the last 2 weeks working on my critical report. I had decided to re-write the report last week in a different structure, and did so, going through all my notes from this module and ensuring I had included all the ideas, arguments and thoughts I have had. I did moreContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 4 – Deliver”

Weeks 15-16 I spent some time working on the structure and design of my workshop. In particular I used the idea of the Change Cards, and rewrote the questions to form a basis for an exercise to start creative thinking about feminism. I used the idea of looking at things differently to come up withContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 3 – Design Development”

I managed to have a tutorial to discuss my project, where the main concerns were that my project may not have enough design in it. For my workshops to be theContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 3 – Design Development”

Summer Break One of the main things I have done this week is to have a mind mapping and workshopping session with a friend who is a psychologist – Gemma Sardari. I came up with my research question after the overturn of Roe vs Wade. I am a 40-year-old white woman, and I am passionateContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 3 – Design Development”

Weeks 11-12 I have been looking into the psychology behind empathy, compassion and apathy. I’m interested in the idea of us being apathetic towards causes, it’s too big a problem, so what can I do to change it? Joanna Macy talks about ‘active hope’ and teaches ways of living and coping in a world fullContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 3 – Design Development”

Weeks 9-10 More research this week, I read Extrabold by Ellen Lupton, and looked into design workshops and the psychology theories behind my research question. Reading Extrabold was interesting as it talked a lot about intersectionality and feminism within graphic design as a practice. We need to design inclusively, for people of varied identities, backgroundsContinue reading “MA Project: Phase 3 – Design Development”
