“In a world changing faster than at any other time in human history, a dynamic and critical analysis of what is ‘good’ design could not be more urgently required.” - Kate Andrews

This project will introduce you to how research the existing knowledge in an area of design. We will begin by researching an age-old question: “What is good design?”

2.Explanation of the Project

2.1 Design Brief

So first let’s consider what constitutes “good design” and “bad design”. Does this mean that a good design can create an impact in niche society? Or that it is good for people that use the design? What about the design’s impact on the environment, the economy and the larger society? Can good design be good for all these things at once or are there compromises? Can good design turned into bad design as time prevails? Has bad design allow designers/makers to improves the current?

Below are 5 topic that you individually will need to investigate using methodologies that is thought by your tutor.

1. Design and the home 2. Design and health 3. Design and transportation 4. Design and entertainment 5. Design and communications

By learning what good/bad design is and how it can have an impact to the world around us we can be better prepared for the needs of our future.

What are the qualities of good design in your chosen context?

Has design changed the way it affects this context?

Have there been significant (iconic) designs?

What are the considerations a designer must look at in this area?

What future directions might design in this area be heading?

And finally, what opportunities are there for improvement of design in this context?

You will use your research to support your views on this issue.






of 20

This is an individual project.

The following are suggested phases for this project.

1. Brainstorm Identify areas to investigate

These topics are broad and present many opportunities for investigation. In a group you will need to brainstorm different avenues to research. You will then identify key areas and delegate to each group member a research task.

2. Secondary Research Hunt and Gather all your sources

Finding out what’s out there, what’s been done before, what works well and what could be done better?

Gather existing literature: - What has been written on the subject? (Find books, magazines, online articles, etc.) - What is happening in current events that may be of relevance? (Find newspapers and magazines) - What do trends or statistics tell you? (eg, Australian Bureau of Statistics)

Gather existing design work:

- What design work has been done over time, or may be historically relevant? (Research design history)

- What design systems, artefacts, environments or communications already exist that relate to your topic? Look for case studies, examples of best practice or exemplars of good design. (Check out design magazines, online design portals for outstanding design work, design award winners, etc.)

3. Structure - structure your research in to a clear message.

Individually you will collect, collate and summarise all your research in a professional and engaging way. Include visuals, photographs, charts, etc to help communicate your research. The goal

here is to communicate a clear message with your research that we can all understand.

4. Identify a design opportunity

Out of the research a number of potential design opportunities will be identified where design can be improved or meet an unmet need. Individually you should isolate a design problem and describe it briefly in a 500 – 600 words summary.

2.2. Design Limitations

Structuring your findings

This project is designed to start you thinking about the systematic collection, analysis and organization of research for design. Be prepared to experiment with presentation methods as appropriate to the type and range of information you have gathered. Be selective in what you present. Gathering information is the first stage of your journey of exploration. The second stage is developing effective strategies for analysing, reporting and communicating your research findings.

Group work collaborations

This project will subject to individual contribution to his/her project. However it will be done as collaboration in selected group as this project will relate to your Project 3: User Centred Design Proposal, which is a group work assignment.






of 20

The marking will be appointed to the individuals on how in depth their knowledge review in a specific topic.

2.3 Considerations

Ethics

Now that you are studying in a university context, research must be conducted ethically. It is a condition of your participation in this class that you get permission for collecting information in visual or verbal form from people. You cannot photograph or interview people without their informed consent.

Referencing and Bibliography

It is ESSENTIAL that students credit sources of information through accurate and systematic citations using the Harvard style. This will be reviewed in the lectures. Your List of References will show all your sources. Make sure you have a breadth of resources, i.e. books, articles, periodicals, magazines, internet only is unacceptable.

As this is a blog, you must also try engaged your peers to have a discussion on the area that you may have interested in their opinions.

2.Explanation of the Project

You are to discuss in-class and online about the topic and content of each segment. Through discussion you will have to

Demonstrate your understanding of the topics

Develop deeper understanding through exploring ideas in more detail

Express your thoughts and opinions

Back up your thinking. For example, with examples, statistics, research

Pose questions that stimulate discussion

Consider how the weekly topics relate to your design projects and design in general

Useful information for these discussions will come from class based lecture/task and readings as well as from students’ existing knowledge, experience and other type of research.

Teaching staff will help focus your discussions, however students are encouraged to actively participate in directing the discussion. This will involve developing good questioning techniques and the ability to express your self effectively. It is important that you can back up your thoughts and opinions using references you have found.

3. Deliverables:

Students are expected to make at least 2 contributions per week to the provided topic of discussions. At least 1 significant contribution must be made. This could be in the form of an insightful finding of your research with a carefully thoughout question or a well thought out opinion through response.

In-class and online discussions will be considered as a whole. You are encouraged to participate in both, however you may choose to contribute to one more than the other.

4. Deadlines:

Learning Methods of Investigation (LMI)

Project 3: Design Brief Proposal due Mon Jan 20 11:59pm

(Weighting: 50%)

“Where art is primarily concerned with aesthetics, design is essentially a problem-

solving discipline. Great design, therefore, must begin with a comprehensive

understanding of the … problem that needs to be solved and this is the purpose of a

design brief. A design brief is a written document that thoroughly explains the problem

that needs to be solved by a designer or designer team. It should primarily focus on

results of design, outcomes of design, and the … objectives of the design project.”

(Design Council UK)

Learning Objectives:

Through this assignment, you will gain experience:

developing your own design concepts and solutions

using research methods of design

writing in the role of a designer to a client for project acceptance

presenting your design ideas through a video recording (in the role of a designer to a long-distance

client)

judging your own design solution according to a set of standards for good design

13. Plagiarism

Swinburne College defines Plagiarism as the action or practice of taking and submitting or presenting

thoughts, writings or other work of someone else as though it is our own work. Plagiarism includes any of

the following, without full and appropriate acknowledgment of the original source(s):

i) The use of whole or part of a computer program written by another person;

ii) The use, in essays or other assessable work, of the whole or part of a written work from any

source including but not limited to a book, journal, newspaper article, set of lecture notes,

current or past student’s work, or any other person’s work, a website or database;

iii) The paraphrasing of another’s work;

iv) The use of musical composition, audio, visual, graphic and photographic models’

v) The use of realia; that is objects, artefacts, costumes, models and the like.

Plagiarism also includes the preparation and production and submission or presentation of assignments or

other work in conjunction with another person or other people when that work should be your own

independent work. This remains plagiarism whether or not it is with the knowledge or consent of the other

person or people. It should be noted that Swinburne College encourages its students to talk to staff, fellow

students and other people who may be able to contribute to a student’s academic work but that where

independent assignment is required, submitted or presented work must be the student’s own.

Allowing or otherwise assisting another student to copy or otherwise plagiarise work by, for example,

allowing access to a draft or completed assignment or other work, is also considered plagiarism. Students

will be penalised for work that has been plagiarised.

14. Student Feedback

Swinburne College seeks student feedback in a number of ways, including through periodic surveys as part

of the College’s approach to quality assurance and improvement. The address is;
