The Main Brief

What I understood from Main Brief :

The first thing I have to do is start learning to think like a designer. Think globaly and notice unusual things. Capture some interesting ideas and turn them into something more than just an idea. The Brief shows me that I have to research Malaysia. Ok, not Malaysia, at least Klang Valley. There are a lot of districts that includes the Klang Valley. Several examples : Brickfields (Little India), Petaling Street (Chinatown), Carcosa Seri Negara, Astaka Morocco, Etc.

With my classmates we can make it together. I mean research Klang Valley. Of course our ideas will be different and work also will be individual. But I'm glad that on this course I met a lot of friendly, good girls and boy :) Because many of us are international students and we will be a little confused with directions, I think.

So there I'm going to research interesting places, meet different people and find extraordinary things which can help me to create The Map. The task is include some things that I should follow :

1. Create a Guide/ Visual Map.

2. Produce a piece of audio-visual content.

3. Keep Sketchbook and Blog.

To create a map we should also consider several aspects :

1. Historical – stories from the past;

2. Social – stories of how people meet & spend time with each other;

3. Environmental – relating to the daily narratives of where people live,

work and play;

4. Technological – telling the stories of how discoveries, inventions, tools

and systems affect people’s daily lives;

5. Cultural – the local ways, habits, traditions and heritage of your chosen

location life;

6. Aesthetic – concerning the sensory perceptions, beauty & taste of life in

Sheffield;

7. Statistical – involving ways in which facts and numerical data affect the

stories of people’s lives.

In my opinion it will be interesting experience for all of us. So what can I say about it? Good luck to us!
