My name is Kelly Bailey and this is an insight into to my process, thoughts, inspirations, and knowledge that I will encounter in the next two years. This blog serves as an archive for my journey through the Master of Graphic Design program at North Carolina State University.
PROJECT 3
The design strategy I decided to investigate for this project is Form making. Trough the process of creating in which the designer considers form first, I believe the designer is able to come explore many options and come up with more innovative, thought-provoking, and intuitive solutions to a given problem. I really struggled with how to present this idea, likely because (as Denise pointed out) I was having a hard time defining my concept as a design strategy or a methodology.
The solution pictured above is an investigation of my own exploration of ‘hierarchy within a community’. Through various form making processes, I considered the chosen prompt and demonstrated the idea through form.
This project would have been more successful if I had explored more versions using a wider variety of form making strategies and had I restricted the time spent on each example as to avoid the issue of them looking like “finished products”.
