COLLECT, CATEGORISE, COMMUNICATE

Applying our existing knowledge and developing the understanding of visual language, visual research and visual thinking to a set of problems. 

The problems will focus on 

• Strategies for identifying and exploiting sources of research in response to set problems.
• Approaches to the gathering, organising and responding to primary and secondary research.
• The development of visual solutions to problems through the investigation of format, function, audience and context.

The investigation will look at the development of ideas through appropriate forms of documentation and recording.

To begin the brief we were categorised into groups of 5 where we given one word. I am in group 1 and we have to explore the means of 'Routine'. As a group we brainstormed the definition of routine : "A prescribed, detailed course of action to be followed regularly; a standard procedure." Source
After clarifying it's meaning we then looked into different routines that people may experience and came up with these idea's.

After debating our idea's we then assigned ourselves to a particular theme and I chose to look into OCD - Obsessive compulsive disorder, which is a mental health condition where people have to carry out various routines to feel comfortable or safe.

I then began to brainstorm idea's of what I could research and look into about the issue to gain a better understanding.

After identifying the routes I could look into I began to start looking at primary, then secondary research until I found a direction.
