Task 1 Brainstorming vol. 2

Piece of clothing - more broad then something for skaters as a first launch

I want to create a piece of clothing or a set

Sustainably made - reused fabrics?

Fabrics: what fabric works best for the garment (breathable, long lasting, durable etc.)

Need to work for a changing body because bodies change

Base pieces that can be dressed up or down

Neutral colour? For maximum usage and pairing with other clothing (more likely to get maximum usage out of it)

Fabric:

Breathable, natural, durable

Reuse something from op shop: sheet, curtain etc.

Cotton, Linen, Hemp, Bamboo, wool?

Key Features:

Gives room for a body to change

Neutral colours? pairs well with a lot of different pieces

Basic piece

What can a coffee cup be used for? endless things.

Started working on task 1. I feel like I have a lot of ideas, let's see how it goes. Start working on that for next week.

Check out in own time: Nielsen/Norman group. Bruce Tog. PARA system for my folders. ABC war on waste.

Loved "The Normandoor". Made me think a lot about how things work. Especially doors, light buttons, escalators etc. Everything is very different in Aus vs Europe.

Can not wait to learn more about:

Sustainable design

Circular design

Day 1 journal

Todays class was a bit of an overview of what's to come. I wrote a statement of what kind of designer I am.

The most interesting part was the different methodologies and the process of design, journaling and thinking about the first task.

I'm excited to start my first task, and getting to test out the different methodologies in the process. It's also going to be interesting getting into the habit of keeping a journal.
