'Your task is to thoroughly research a micro-genre of music from this website. This research should be extensive, with the intention that you become an expert in the genre. This micro-genre will become the focus for the design and production of a new piece of work to be publicly exhibited.'
'Design an object that celebrate (or critiques) an aspect of genre's specific characteristics: political, aesthetic, production methods, audience demographic, key intentions or its connection to place.'
'Think visually, explore both literal and lateral responses. Consider the various techniques and processes that are available to you and their suitability for conveying or re-enforcing the ideas that you are trying to communicate.
Your exhibition design object must be ambitious and be a response to your research. Do not limit your ideas: it could be a flag, ringtone, rug, wallpaper, exercise video, instruction manual, map, perfume, clothing, game / puzzle, piece of furniture etc. Whatever aspect of your micro-genre you chose to focus on, the research you do should inform the format and type of object you chose to produce.
Use production methods relevant to your research and ideas (don't just go straight to Illustrator or Photoshop).'
'Content must be suitable for public viewing and be celebratory in nature.'
Personal Spec:
- Make sure research is thorough and is reflected fully in the outcome.
- Find a specific aspect of the genre and explore it.
- Show good comprehension of the cultural influence of the music.
- Break boundaries making the object, try to use an unusual material.
- Make sure the object is suitable for a public audience - nothing too sexual or graphic.
