Assignment 1: Mind Maps + Another Meeting








I produced these 2 above mind maps (click to enlarge) prior to the meeting with my group on Wednesday in which we discussed how we were all getting on with the assignment. I found it easier to organize my thoughts using 2 mind maps. One based solely on fair trade and the other linking design to fair trade. Everyone had produced a relatively thorough mind map, which may be developed and added to as new information is found. All the members in my group have now also set up and are using a blog. Now we are all continuing to write about our chosen topic for the deadline next week.

We also discussed the previous lecture and our views towards branding. With one graphic design student very much in favour of branding and another against very commercialised branding such as McDonalds and Starbucks preferring small restaurants and cafes to chain restaurants and stores for example. I was surprised to find that another member of our group chooses to completely avoid numerous brands such as Coca-cola.
