Design Brief Specification and Competition Rules

Specification

The design brief asks that you take into consideration the following issues when

creating your design whilst challenging conventional ideas of traditional seating

fabric designs;

Incorporate a constant repeat geometric pattern.

Utilise a maximum of three primary corporate identity pantone references

as shown from the inner wheel of the chart.

Utilise, as secondary colours, pantone references as shown from the

outer wheel of the chart. However additional secondary colours could be

proposed if considered visually necessary.

o The design should be capable of carrying a colour way, complimentary

to the dominant operator colour ways, to allow for the delineation of

‘Priority’ seats and seats used as part of wheelchair provision. Such

use of colour way, within the finished design, has been adopted by

other TfL modes as a consistent way of showing the seats intended for

use by those who are disabled, pregnant or less-able to stand.

The design must be commercially viable.

Dissertation/Theoretical Research

“Panoptisicm in creative educational environments. More specifically the Graphic Design educational space at Leeds College of Art and Design.”

How does Foucault’s panoptisicm theory apply to the creative educational environment that teaches Graphic Design in Leeds College of Art?

What are the connotations? Eg. Sign in sheets, panoptic studio, self-regulation to a timetable and consistent working standards.

Does it encourage or discourage creativity and individual resolutions from the briefs set?

Interviews with a range of students that cover first, second and third year of the course to evaluate differences in their attitudes depending on timescale

A case study analysing the rate of employment and succession conversing with grades and attendance figures given in their time of the course to understand the effect of panoptisicm in the working environment.
