Briefs
Level 6 briefs that inspired this year’s
graduates and led to the work seen
throughout the degree show.
An introduction to affirmative and disruptive design methods, Waves of Knowing is a design challenge based around the context of the sea. We were asked to deliver an affirmative solution and a disruptive deliverable in response to the global marine plastic pollution crisis in the form of 8 information design boards.
We were invited to select briefs from a range of international design competitions and opportunities led by personal ambitions. The competition project allows students to explore a range of diverse subject matter within a plethora of contexts.
The FMA project is a student-set and student-led brief. Meaning that we could write our brief or base it on an existing brief, such as one from a client. The only requirement is that the brief is sufficiently challenging and ambitious. The most important aspect is to choose a topic that engages and motivates you.
The Dyson Creative Challenge is a means of supporting students’ readiness in developing a unique professional career in graphic design. We were allowed to design and pitch a brand identity and narrative for a live client (ACT Medical) for their upcoming product – the Balloon Occlusive Barrier. A device for preventing severe blood loss due to penetrative trauma wounds.
