OUGD601: Cop Proposal feedback

'Melissa Morris

This is a very good proposal, though the topic is still a bit vague for my liking. I think that the research project would work, if you had a set idea of a company / charity that you would wish to work with. The million dollar question is who would this be? Obviously, finding a company based in the UK would give you the opportunity to contact people for useful primary research. The idea of collaborating with a company as a live practice based research project is certainly exciting. I would suggest that, depending on whom you chose to work with, your secondary research would become less concerned with abstract notions of ‘good design, and more concerned with contextual research specific to that organisation.'

As Richard has said, to begin with I started with quite broad research and have found this quite difficult. To move forward within my research project I am in the process of identifying a charity which I want to work with/ who would want to work with myself. As a lot of the major charities have design already I am going to look at smaller local charities who benefit more from the work I create.
