- Discuss my chosen question
- According to a 2015 pol 50% of people in the UK believe gender exists on a spectrum
- Last decade attitudes towards the acceptance of gender within a spectrum have shifted
- As a result of this it is effecting the way in which some people are designing
Slide 02: Themes
- Gender Identity - what it mean for creatives today
- Gender Stereotypes - looking at the negatives/positives of how it is still used today in design
- Masculinity/Femininity - researching into how these influence designer's outcomes
- Androgyny - the way in which masc/fem qualities within design are blending together
- Pop Culture - how gender has been used as a tool to sell
- Feminism - looking at how feminist designers use their gender as a tool to design
- Gender Neutral Design/Neutral Culture - in contrast with the feminism behind gender forward design, comparing it with genderless design - looking into the argument of whether we should express ourselves through gender or design for no gender in mind at all
Slide 03: Case studies
- Design Studios - contact studios with a survey/questionnaire on their practice and whether gender is factor that consider when designing or themselves or a client
- Interview Creatives - who have based projects around gender and interview them on their reasonings behind their design decisions
Slide 04: Practical
- Gender Neutral publication following the theories and design methods with the influence of no gender
Slide 05: Extended Practice
- Talk about my collaboration with Tommy (London fashion student) on my photography publication that is focusing on the masculine/feminine qualities of men
- Collaborating on the visuals, fashion garments and modelling
FEEDBACK
- Narrow down my question by specifying what practice I want to focus on... whether it be graphic design or a practice within graphic design
