Design Voice in Three Acts

A SERIES OF 3 INTERCONNECTED PROJECTS DESIGNED TO HELP YOU LEARN TO TURN INSPIRATION AND IDEAS INTO SELF GENERATED WORK

The Brief: Pick a show from This American Life, 99% invisible, Serial or S-Town (or another podcast / show) You will be making 3 projects as part of this assignment. The first, very simply, is a re-presentation of the chosen show: Make a 16-page booklet representing the story from the show you listened to. The subsequent two projects are projects inspired by the show. This means they are derivative and inspired by the content of the show. You are not retelling the story of the show. You can make anything you want, but you must choose, from the following list, a constraint of sorts:

  • a brand identity

  • a video series

  • an installation

  • a functioning website

  • a book of 50 pages or more 

  • a strategic plan 

  • an online store

  • an exhibition

  • an intervention

  • something that can be sold

  • a methodology 

  • a lecture

  • a documentary

  • something interactive 

  • something coded

  • a movement, cause or campaign 

  • a podcast

  • a tool

  • a service
