COP Practical Crit

I presented my ideas in a group crit which was really helpful with a number of very in depth discussions. Due to the nature of my dissertation topic, I am struggling with what to produce for a final outcome. I presented my two ideas. 

Book: 

Interesting idea but also the most obvious solution to the problem. It's a broad concept, and hard to include all women designers! However, it seems pretty clear as most of the images and essays I have collected and found already, and the next step would be only to experiment with the layouts and image, as well as thinking about a front cover. However, everyone did agree with me, creating a 'women in design' book only draws attention to the problem at hand and a risk that the book would serve to reinforce the ‘differences’ and disparity that exists in design. I also believe that the only audience for the book would be woman, when men need to be part of the conversation to.

Exhibition:  

The exhibition idea they liked the best, I need to do some research into exhibition design and come up with a well-synthesised concept to the exhibition. This idea I think I will take forward.
