Follow a design process - Define the Problem

What is design?

"A plan or convention for the construction of an object or a system" -  Cambridge Dictionary of American English

Watch:  Paul Bennett finds design in the detail

Exercise #1: Redesign the Australian Flag for a 2012 audience

Break up into groups and brainstorm the following:

  1. Define the problem.  What is 'wrong' with the current design? What works in the current design?
  2. Possible constraints - audience (social and ethical issues, attitudes of Australian's and foreigners), medium (various formats flags are displayed), purpose (what does a flag do?)
Present your concept and explain what the problem was, the various factors that were considered, and how you solved the dilemma.


Discussion: How does the design process relate to Digital Media?
