HOW YOU VISUAL HAPPINESS? HOW HAPPINESS BRINGS TO SOCIAL?
- Subject is all about the Georgetown and Happiness (to understand and to read history of Georgetown)
- plenty information... ?? funded by main Government?
WHAT DESIGN CAN DO? WHAT IS GEORGETOWN CITY?
For example, HEALTHY. talking about Becca. What age they are actually? When they died, who will take over it?) Let`s us assume that nobody take it over? Teksi vs Becca?
WHAT CAN IT HAPPENED?
P/S: design thinking/ critical thinking (p/s: find the book and read it.)
For example, CRAFT. Lack of icon/ image to promote Georgetown. We are overloaded with too many information! (to focus one things)
WHAT WE HAVE?OUR DIDN'T TREASURE IT...
P/S: not project BUT design thinking!
Role: re-introduce the Happiness in the city!!
| CASES |
I'm lost. There's not sign. It can represent Happiness or insert a sign of Happiness or look all of this, b positive.
HOW CAN I DO THIS? HOW CAN I HELP THIS?
BACK TO THE POSTION. STOP THE POLISI!
| CASES |
Public transport. How can I make it fun and Happiness? Explore Penang by bus... (Don't involve change/ polisi!)
METHODLOGY CLASS?? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS PROJECT? The thinking? The culture?
Have you ever walk night at Georgetown?
- You need to go out and have a coffe. Observation is a method. What they do? What they behave?
AS A DESIGNER, HOW CAN I HELP BETTER?
Penang now full of tourist. Good for country, of course.
HOW ABOUT ROAD MAP? MAP? WHAT ABOUT THE MAP? BOOKLET? STORY? PHOTOGRAPHY TELL THE STORY?
either you wanna work alone or work as a team?
Clearly define the problem. Expose certain issue, highlight something. Designer is not about solving problems BUT it highlight the issue which to address and to clearly define the problem. (create you own brief!)
Discover and define where the project FOCUS and BRIEF it!
MISTAKE: Define everything! (WRONG)
- Better discovering and go around. SEARCH then DEFINE --> sketching...
| CASES |
Bus stop? too boring...To think differntly: sitting can be FUN! Add something more and everything fun become interesting!
