Group Meeting

So to get started with the new term of Design Studies we were asked to meet in our design groups to collectively choose a different topic each of us wished to study. The end result is to be a Wikipedia entry on your chosen subject. I choose to study Consumer Culture and Design. We had our first group meeting the first thursday of Semester 1 over lunch in the Canteena of the Crawford Building to discuss our first thoughts on what we would like to study. Our group then decided we should all go away work on our mind maps to research into our desired topics and to meet the following week to go over each others mind maps to see if and how we could help each other out if necessary. One girl from my group was having trouble choosing between 3 topics so she had drawn up 3 different mind maps and we all as a group had a look over and tried to help her narrow it down and pick the one she thinks she would get the most information from. We took some photographs to document our meetings and show our completed mind maps, which you can see below.

We then decided to just get on with writing our Wiki’s over the next week or so in our own time but have agreed to reconvene again a few days before hand in to help each other by reading over our Wiki’s and seeing if we can give any advice or help if needed to any other member of the group.
