Week 6 Presentation

WEEK 6 SUBMISSION: due on unit blog prior to studio class
(1) Presentation of three A4 pages (two designers per page) showing research into design classics.
Research furniture by your chosen designers and collate images and text using Photoshop or Illustrator. Images are to be of high quality (not low-res) and such should be scanned from books and printed publications - do not research or source images exclusively from the internet.
It is suggested that you research the work of all the listed designers before choosing six on whom to focus.
Note: All images must be titled with the names of the designer and the furniture and the date of design.
eg. Sori Yanagi, ‘Butterfly’ stool, 1956.

(2) A4 presentation of focused furniture research including
- sketches and photo essay from NGV visit
- in-depth research investigation – at least 300 words outlining your findings
