(Repeat Year) OUGD505 - Studio Brief 02 - status update

I have been thinking a lot about how I want to respond to my research subject of the NHS crisis for studio brief 02. 

- Firstly I am finding it quite difficult to come up with ideas as to what kind of medium would be most effective for the response to this certain subject.

- I find the subject its'self very interesting and it is a subject that I read up and update myself on quite frequently, so the fact that I am having some trouble finding a solution is quite frustrating. 

- I have had many ideas, such as poster designs. website designs (some kind of online counseling for the NHS), T-shirt designing which is the medium I will be using for Studio brief 01, However, I would rather not design similar items for both projects.

- My final idea is the possibility of designing greeting cards (or in this case humorous/informative business cards. Similar to the designs which I researched a few blogs ago.

- I have never designed greeting cards before, although I imagine that these will be just like poster designs but on a much smaller scale.

- Why would I design Greeting Cards?

- This idea has the ability to raise both money for charities or local NHS centers and awareness by the images/designs which will be used on the front of the cards. 

- I think out of all possible ideas, The above will be most effective, however, I will start with a blog on relevant greeting card designs which I plan to use as some inspiration towards my own designs.

(Repeat Year) - OUGD505 - SB01 - Design Response Ideas

I am becoming increasingly interested in T-Shirt art and printing design for both of my projects for OUGD505. (both SB01 and SB02).

I am not entirely sure that I will focus on T-shirt image design for both projects but I feel that is a lot of potentials to use T-shirt (clothing) as a medium for some really effective design responses regarding both of my projects.
-

Personally, I prefer modern art and design, So I have started this project off by researching the latest in T-Shirt art and design, and searching for the most effective and eye-catching designs.

As you can see below I have filtered down to a few select images which fit my project direction best. I have taken these images and broekn. the design of each one down - So I can fully understand the style and what each design represents. 

(repeat year) OUGD505 - SB01 - Intro

Below, placed a snapshot of relevent information from the online proejct informatiopn source.

When my tutor orlando was expplaining this proejct to me I became failry interested quickly and it was nice to have a chnage in proejct comapred to previous tutors droning on with unispiring projects.

The goal of this project will be to experience the sound of a vast amount of music 'MicroGenres', by using a website which was archives 100's of different (MG) music examples. Then to choose one of the MG that would become the focus of this proejct. 

To then take the chosen MG and research it's origin and other relevant information up until the point I feel that I hav e gained enough knowledge to comfortabbly understand the Genre to a full extent and then design a response through which ever medium prefered.

Using the link provided, research into various MG's could begin, As you can see below from the screenshot of the MG archive, there is a vast amount of various MG's to choose from.
