When the output (or "products") function along side (or interrelates with) other products it forms a system. Now, as the sender (again), you are to visualize the system.Research:
Add additional knowledge to the dialog (and find supporting evidence for your argument) by conducting outside research. This doesn't have to be in-depth research, but just enough to narrow the scope and frame the dialetic by placing the PRODUCT in one of the following contextual systems: social/cultural, historical, technical, or environmental.
For example, I found out there are both pros and cons to birdhouses & bird feeders. With either argument I can place this "product" in a greater economical or ecological system.
Post a summation of this research (and sources) to your blogs.
Answering the following questions will help define your conversation:
• What is the impact/relationship to other products?
• What is ONE argument (from a social, historical, technical or environmental point of view) that can be made about the object?
• What are the ramifications or benefits of this system?
• How could that engage in a dialectic based on the second postcard?
Parameters:
Add imagery AND text. Embellish and incorporate your partners imagery so that it is apparent that this an ongoing conversation and that the 3 postcards function as a cohesive series.
Deliverables due next class:
Produce a wide range of explorations & iterations. Post all to process blog. Select & print those with the most potential as "proposed" directions (that's plural).
After class crit you will refine if necessary, print one card and post the final digital card (no explanation) to your blog (post title "postcard 3: context").
