During Fridays lecture, Hazel White, course leader for the MDes and a graduate of the DJCAD jewellery programme and Royal College of Art, explained to us how she uses technology, along with traditional craft skills to explore and question how people behave.
One of the points she brought up initially, why we choose certain things/pathways, I found particularly interesting.
She also made us question why we chose to study our respective subjects. Which for me, thinking back, was simply the way some of the CAD images looked on the presentation sheets at the open day.
Another point Hazel made was that as designers we all are good at:
Observing
gathering information on new design ideas,current global affairs, scientific discoveries and new potential trends.
Imagining
being creative, having aspirations, and coming up with new ideas.
Visualising
developing the technical skills to depict our imagined ideas and communicate them with others.
having these skills, we should not limit ourselves, designing only within the discipline we are studying, but be open to new paths, that we may not initially have thought possible
