Studio Brief 2 - Do Something Good briefing

Working in pairs, need to create a publication, print, event, object or installation that conveys your concept *concept is most important. The concept needs to be an intervention in people's lives, either helping or stopping them doing something. This will then be displayed in an instagram page with 5-10 photos which document, promote, or explain the concept.

1. Need research. this research needs to be theory, concept and context
2. Need to constantly evaluate and critique progress - need to document this.
3. Need a body of visual and contextual research to establish opinions on the chosen intervention. facts, statistics, articles, books... 

Best to take a concept to produce an outcome that you're interested in as you need to work fast and need to enjoy it.

This will have normal design boards of rationale, research, initial ideas, development, production and evaluation. 

Installation - a physical infographic as people take what they feel they are and it creates a physical bar graph. 
Idea of helping people read - taking a book you love ( / anything you love) and helping people get into it. 
Need to consider the mechanics of how you promote the concept. Here they use a pdf to explain / using a hashtag to help people engage.

Think about existing objects that you can hijack. e.g Phone cases, adverts in the metro, labels, etc... 
Concept : His wife wanted an expensive lamp so he made one (Sustainable). Doing something like this could be a tutorial on your instagram. 
Thinking about hijacking real life items again - don't need to create a whole new thing it's dependant on your concept.
