Open Studio Prep

Work presented physically in the style of design festivals.

Importance of intentionality in world building our designs and narratives

  1. Material exploration and a multi-sensorial approach
  2. Unfinished work is ok – they want concept not entirely finished pieces
  3. Clearly show the journey through the project
  4. Highlight what still needs working out (size of images, repeated patterns etc) ask myself ‘What needs fixing?’

Methods for presenting developmental work

1. Process Mapping – Feelings throughout the making process, What is the process? Why is the process? How can process be communicated?

2. Exploration mapping – A mixed media board of sources, textures and other elements. Mixed media, collaged boards

3. Iterative sequences – showing process through iteration grids and sequences

4. Contextual mapping/ site response – positioning work within the space its supposed to fit in

Methods for Presenting Outcomes

  1. Mockups or proposal drawings – design positioned in the space

2. Prototypes/interactive models – consider multiple outputs: What are you trying to say and do you need multiple outputs to say it?
