Context: YOU

We were set a 1 day brief about myself and the things which influence me as a designer outside of design. I always struggle with briefs like this as I'm still properly discovering myself as a designer and as a person. After talking to Declan Bell my course mate, I decided that I would talk about my analytical and logical approach to tasks. I also wanted to try convey the the evolution my work has taken, from traditional design, to more modern/post-modern styles. I then chose to do this with somewhat of an art piece rather than a piece of design, with my wooden chess board, which represents my logical methodology and traditional personality. I then set up White in the Stonewall Attack (A generally classic structure, representing my early interest in classical design), and I set up Black in a developed GrΓΌnfeld Defence (a hypermodern structure, representing my later interest in post-modern newer design).

We were also set the task of writing a 12word rationale for the work we produced.

'A physical representation of my logical process and development into post-modernist design'
