GAY Marriage Bracelet Ideas...

For our project to make a Bracelet this was one of our ideas to make a bracelet with pictures of different marriages and for the fourth link to put an equal sign saying that gay marriage equals straight marriage.

SOCIAL DESIGN PROJECT 2 TIMELINE ! ! !

Well... so far here is our Idea of what we want to do for our project... Sorry to disappoint everybody but the Drag Racing might not accure... after brainstorming together Team Gay Marriage decided that doing the race does not bring awarness of Gay Marriage out there it would just be a big show... so here are our ideas.... so far...

* Make a bracelet

* Make a Gay Marriage Blog "Purple Pride"

* Go to the GLBT club at Towson and discuss with them gay marriage and their views on it

* Tie Die Scarfs

* Pass Out Flyers

Anybody have any other suggestions? We are open to any and all ideas... in our blog we want to write important information on Gay marriage.

Design Problem 2: Favorite Word

My word is Literature. I want my necklace design to be dealing with Literature, I wanted to incorporate Shakespeare, as everyone knows is my favorite author, into my project, but now after reading an article in the New York Times about a movie based on two wonderful books entitled Persepolis I want to incorporate that into my necklace. As the "chain" or the object the pendent will be suspended from I want it to be pieces from the book. The novel is comic book based so I want the necklace to look like ripped pieces of pages from the book. Then the Pendent, which I'm not sure what will look like, will be suspended from the necklace.

After Action Review Jewelry II

Sustains What you did well; actions and strategies to continue

I think the best part of my project was my idea. I think it was creative simple and Droog. I also think that it was well put together in a creative container. The technique chosen was well chosen.The creativity will continue.

Improves Things that did not work so well; areas to improve
Evaluate strategies and approaches that you used either consciously or unconsciously

There are alot of things I would do different. First and foremost I will jump into the project much sooner. I did work on my ideas early, but did not realize how much time I needed to do my project . I wanted to implement different surface techniques and just ran out of time cause I did work on other techniques, I have them if anyone wants to see, but they messed up and I did not have time to fix it.

What Ifs How could the project been more successful?
If there were no limits on the project…..what are the best incarnations of it?

Wow what if... I was able to make anything I wanted? Well... I was and I did. I think the biggest thing that I would have changed would be... not having to use any surface techniques... but then that would have been so boring... I think maybe if we could have chosen the design firm we wanted to design for... that would have been interesting for us to do research on design firms, learn about them and try and incorporate them into our project and with the project to have to summarize what the company is all about. That way we could learn about 10, I think that's how many people in class, design firms. We would have also learned how to research different design companies, cause after graduation they won't find us we have to find them, we could find a firm that appeals to us.

Same - Sex Marriage, OK by "Dear Abby"

If "Dear Abby" is ok with Same Sex Marriage then why can't America---Bush be?

"Dear Abby" Says She's for Same-Sex Marriage

"Phillips (aka "Dear Abby) realizes not everyone agrees with her on gay rights; she and her husband ''argue about this continually,'' she said. He thinks civil unions and domestic partnerships ''would be less threatening to people who feel marriage is just a religious rite.'' She thinks anything less than full marriage amounts to second-class citizenship."

After Action Review

We just completed the first project and I learned so much. First everything in this world is designed by people, except for people and nature. Earth is precious and we need to help it. I also learned that through design we can make a difference in this world. I learned that anyone can make a change it all starts with one person. I learned that change can be fun and finally that recycling is important.
Any body can make a change it can be small or big but anyone can do it. Such as my project my simple contribution to recycling soda cans for my job, turned into changing the practice and policies of my job, and building, in regards to recycling. The simple conversations with people regarding their views on recycling was actually informative and fun. The sad realization that people are to lazy or don’t have time to recycle was sad. Also the upcycling shirt project with my mother was such fun and helped eliminate another object that would of sat in our landfills.
Technology can be a useful piece to spreading the word for any social issue out there. I learned through this class and project that blogging, a big trend now, helps keep people connected and can be very informative.
There are many things that I would have done differently for this project. I wished I had set up my blog earlier and people could have contributed to it more. I also wish that I had completed getting the building to all Green, but that takes time.
I do have some suggestions for the class. I think that for the end of the year we should have sale and an upclying project. I think we sould all bring in a shirt we already have and we screen print. The shirt to say something like “ Design Like You Give aDamn 2007” and have all our names and social issues on it. We should also have a sale, wearing our shirts and we sell all our things we designed. Like female image shirts, polar bear shirts and upcyled Towson shirt, and all the things we are going to design. I also think it would be interesting for maybe our last project to have 2 groups do a the same social issue but opposite views on the issue.
All in all I think that I succeeded in accomplishing a lot in this project in the short time we had to do it.

Social Design:
I researched this last minute before class so I will research more and sent it later but here is what I have so far check this out how cool:

I know that wikpedia is not the best source but I like the definition.
Social design has many definitions and the term is put to very different uses across the globe. Some definitions exist within the design world and refers to design in its traditional sense, meaning the shaping of products and services. Other definitions refer to social design as the creation of social reality; design of the social world. (Wikpedia)
