Unit X: College 2: Future Intelligence: Day 1

As today we were given the Future Intelligence brief, it firmly concreted that I want to have a career within trend forecasting and art direction, as I can’t wait to start the project. We have been put into groups for the Cultural Radar task, after last year’s Unit X I am rather apprehensive about working collaboratively but also excited. Alex has given us 6 starting points for our presentations - Lifestyle/ Technology/ Environmental/ Political/ Economic /Cultural.


My group, which consists of Grace Davies, Alice Pickworth and myself all specialise in print, however we still have different strengths which I feel will benefit us in this task. After splitting off to brainstorm our Group were really inspired by the 'Environmental' concept. Our starting point was 'Over-population' so decided to put all of our ideas down on post-it notes. Here are some of the ideas we came up with.



We are really inspired by this idea so believe we can create a resource that will inspire others too. However we briefly looked at a more 'cultural' theme, exploring the idea of how TV effects fashion. Looking at programmes which have cult followings such as Breaking Bad, The Wire and Dexter. Although we were less inspired by this so decided to go straight ahead with the Over-population idea.
