OUGD504 - Studio Brief 01 - Initial Project Ideas

Looking at the content I have gathered over the summer period there are multiple ideas that could be developed further :

1) Thinking about the material in the context of a publication, one possible idea would be to produce a publication that could be used and distributed through the Metro system. This could manifest as a short newspaper-format publication that commuters and tourists would use to learn about the station and/or the surrounding area in Paris.

2) Looking at the materials used within the Concorde Metro Station, another potential avenue for this project would be to focus on the use of tiles and ceramics. Combining this material with the format of a publication could have the potential to produce a range of interesting results - text could be written or printed onto thin ceramic tiles to emulate book pages.

3) Alongside a publication about the station, ceramic could also be used to create a range of small sculptures to illustrate the atmosphere of the station and to reinforce the ornamental side of a coffee table book.
