Graphic Product Innovation
The title of the course may be confusing; after all it contains two words which conjure up very different and possibly separate activities. ‘Graphic’ implies graphic design with connotations of print or digital based communication while the term ‘product’ conjures up images of artefact design. ‘Innovation’ is defined in the Cox Review of Creativity in Business as “the successful exploitation of new ideas”.
Year 2 (2010/2011) encouraged my exploration and application of the skills and principles introduced in my first year as well as introducing me to additional concepts and practices. I was able to access relevant facilities and resources introduced in my first year and gained experience of working independently and collaboratively in the studio. I was offered experience of a broad range of media in both two and three dimensions and sought to challenge my preconceptions of what constitutes ‘graphic’, and ‘product’ and in doing so was encouraged to adopt an innovative approach to the development of ideas and concepts.
Enjoy!
