‘Street.’
"Street" is the second innovative
collaboration between staff and students at La Salle DHU International
Design College, Shanghai , PRChina and their counterparts at Kingscliff
Design, North Coast Institute [TAFENSW], Kingscliff, Australia.
• Students are given the
email address of their partner.
• Each student will reference a street through any of the following
methods: Drawing, photographs, found objects (wrappers, scan able
objects, etc.) or taking rubbings from surfaces.
• From this the student pair will produce a joint piece that
combines their street research.
• This final design outcome must be created, selected and negotiated
by each pair via email and chat.
• Keep a diary
of working process and all emails concerning the project.

THE THREE STAGES: Things
to think about...
Week 1. Email: Introduce yourself
to your email partner. Discuss your research and your design process.
Work toward a design outcome.
Week 2. Discussion,
changes, and research. Work with your email partner to develop and
present a design solution about the theme.
Week 3, 4 & 5.
Refining the final piece and submit forassessment and presenting
online.
STEP 1: Getting started:
You have been allocated a partner and contact email address. Commence
your visual conversation by sending your partner an introduction
about yourself.
Include the following three items:
1. A photograph of yourself
2. A description of yourself, your interests, studies etc.
3. An image relating to the theme “Street” OR a personal
image of an object that has some significance to you in some way.
STEP 2: Things to look for...
A street you love/enjoy, is fun to be in, or a street hate/find
un-pleasant.
A street you think describes your culture, - even if this incorporates
symbols from another, such as KFC or Coca-Cola.
Close ups: Of corners, pavement, details or parts of things, colours,
and windows.
Layers, transparent, opaque, text, images, colours and format.
Don't forget people...the "life" of the street itself!
STEP 3: Exchange your ideas
and images...
Using email and chat get to know your email partner and begin to
exchange and discuss your ideas about this project. As a pair you
need to create and select two images that work well when placed
beside each other.
Presentation:
Your final presentation images can be presented
in either of the following formats:
1024px X 768px [72dpi; JPEG / GIF Format]
800px X 600px [72dpi; JPEG / GIF Format]
*These formats have been specified to assist the production of an
online exhibition. The format of coourse also allows for digital
prints to be made.
Submit the final two images via email or
on CD to your teacher for assessment by the deadline.
