In Today's workshop, we all brought in the 10 images that inspired us and the direction that we wanted to take our practice in. We laid them out on the table in front of us and shared our ideas about why the design is inspirational to us. We then had to, as a group of 6, list as many different categories that each piece of design may fall into. Then from that come up with more sub-catergories...
From this we then chose 10 images from the 60 that we had in front of us. These images was to be design that was the most different from everything else. This would allow us to review in the next task, a much more wider variety of design and format. We had to use this images to find out the answer to the following questions...
