Arts and crafts are a window into a culture and community. It is important that your design be as culturally appropriate as possible. Research arts and crafts from your region and choose one piece in particular that will serve as your aesthetic inspiration for your product and/or service to start developing a design language. Post your art object on your blog.
Mind map
This mind map is a tool for you to think about and brainstorm the system of your design opportunity. Much of the larger context has already been discussed in your UN MDG system mapping, however, this is your chance to become more specific with the issue you have chosen.
On a large piece of paper or with stickies, map out the product and/or service at different scales. For example if it is one baby bottle, brainstorm- how will this bottle be distributed to a community, where would it potentially be manufactured, what does the end of the product's life cycle look like, how is it transported, how could it affect a family, a community, a country, and etc? This type of brainstorming is the foundation of systems design and is essential in order to holistically implement any design idea. Photograph or scan your mind map and post it to your blog.
While brainstorming, you can start thinking about your design solutions! You will share your design concepts in the following assignment.
