INSPIRATION

Philippe Starck

“You create your own decoration. You choose your colour, you choose your mood. ... (If) you are depressed, you put some bright yellow and suddenly you are happy.” - Philippe Starck

“We have to replace beauty, which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which is a humanist concept.” - Philippe Starck

Marc Newson

If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the people and it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments. Marc Newson

I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture. Marc Newson

If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you. Marc Newson

Charles & Ray Eames

Charles & Ray Eames

Demetrios Eames , grandson of Charles and Ray Eames, recalled stories of the wonderful experiments of the design power couple. “What’s important,” Eames emphasised, “is that they never delegated understanding.” He shared with us photos of the beautiful forms that had never reached production.

Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world. Charles Eames

Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make. Charles Eames

Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. Charles Eames

Indicate the subject areas you intend to research and the likely sources of information including any museums, specific locations, performances, etc you plan to visit.

This should be a meaningful plan to you and should be personalised to your project. You may wish to write your plan as a daily or weekly schedule in which case enter your timescale in the APPENDIX .

SECTION FOUR – Method of Evaluation (guide 50 words) How will you critically review and analyse your work and determine if it is successful? How will you identify directions for ongoing development?
