Contextualising Design - 15/10/11

As part of a critcal studies brief, I'll be posting up my notes from the Contextualising Design lectures, run primarily by Adam Cooke. We'll be looking at topics such as manifestos, how we as current students fit into the design world, and art in society.

We're required to gain and maintain a critical understanding and awareness of the interrelationship and concepts, debates and creative practices between different domains and specialisms of design. We must then apply this knowledge to our own work in order to improve our way of thinking and working, which in turn will assist us in the creative world post-education.

Our first lecture introduced us to the radical art group, 'The Beautiful Losers'. A post about this will be up shortly.
