On Monday, we were asked to create something that we could take to the sharing session on Friday that was for all 4th year design students. This is a great way to meet other students who are researching similar ideas to me and opens up opportunities for collaboration.
I started by thinking about the different interactive settings I could have in my exhibition and started to create a box that would require people to put their whole head inside to discover what was in it. This is an interactive way of displaying as it requires people to use not just seeing, to process information.
The box idea didn't work out and I got stuck coming up with an idea. Regardless, I went along to the sharing session and chatted to Genevieve, Maggie and Yulan about their ideas on sustainability in design. Genevieve also gave me an idea to show both sides of the garment manufacturing process at the same time. For example, at the construction stage, show how often there is a lot of fabric waste, but also show there are alternatives, such as zero waste techniques which are better for the environment.
This can be something to consider with the layout of the exhibition. Do I want to show the negative impacts of the manufacturing process throughout then show positive impacts at the end? Or show the both of them throughout the whole experience.
