Smaller group's personal list
Collection of lists from the class
Final ten issues
The photographs above demonstrate how as a class we
created vast amounts of lists of problems students encountered when moving away
from home and becoming a student at Leeds College Of Art. These lists were then
refined and transformed into a question, which required a solution. The third
photograph contains the final ten, which were considered the most relevant to
students. These were in need of a solution to be created and therefore formed a
design question (brief). The final ten problems include; struggling to
find employment, trying to stay fit and healthy with a limited budget, anxiety
about standards of own work, failure in time management which affects social
and university life, having trouble maintaining a positive and creative
attitude, working with new people and networking, finding your way around a new
city, trouble budgeting for all costs, taking care of valuables including work
and finally having trouble networking with the graphic design community.
