Design Context: Communication is a Virus

We where put into groups of six and we where given a phrase to work with

ours was

Five A Day

And so we started an initial discussion, ruling out the idea of five a day fruit and veg, because we felt that this was the most obvious and we wanted to be more interesting.

And so we all went away and did a little bit of initial research

I looked on pintrest initially and found some ideas

I then searched the term on google too , I came up with some ideas which where

Five pieces of design inspiration a day
Five things you over exaggerate a day
five things you can't live without every day
Five things that make you happy a day
Five things you moan about / or irritate you a day
Five things to do before work/university each day

We then got together again. Charlie had also brought up the same idea as I had though of

Five pieces of design inspiration a day

Then after further discussion we came up with this initial idea

Produce a range of things that will have 5 different design blogs/studios/examples of work/designers per day.

Maybe a website/app/ blog as the place this would be shown

And then supporting promotional material

And so I started to look at design inspiration websites/ blogs

I also looked at ways we could promote

Then after further discussion it was decided that our concept was going to be based on the idea of pills and so firstly i looked at the word drug, to get some words from it aswell as words I could think of myself.
