OUGD503 - Responsive - Collaborative Practice Aims & Motivations

Brief to be Undertaken: YCN - Greenall's Gin.
Collaborator: Alice Garrard (Illustration)

Motivations for Undertaking the Collaboration
  • With an interested in British society, class, culture and history - the Greenall's Gin brief provides apt opportunity for the exploration of these fields. 
  • Collaborating with another student who I do not know will force me to step out of my comfort zone and build confidence in engaging with other designers and people in general - personally and professionally. 
  • Working with someone from another discipline will mean a more diverse range of ideas and outcomes can be created, outcomes that alone would not prosper with only my skill-set. It will be exciting to see what comes out of the collaboration including the artwork/style of another creative and the thoughts and ideologies that they input during the design process.
Methods of Communication  

I anticipate that communication between Alice and I will include face-to-face meetings, messaging and perhaps e-mailing.

Where possible I believe meetings in person will bring the best concepts, ideas and resolutions to fruition - with additional contact over messaging in between these to track progress and keep one another updated with personal contribution to the collaboratively curated outcome.

Meetings should take place at least once per week, with messaging in-between to track progress.
