OUGD505 - Design Practice 2 - Studio Brief 1 - Micro-Genres of Music - General Thoughts

Design an object 

that celebrates (or critiques) 

an aspect of genre's specific characteristics:

political, 

aesthetic, 

production methods, 

audience demographic, 

key intentions or its 

connection to place.


In what sense do these micro-genres
help us understand
some
wider issues 
about the
society 
that created them? 



EXPLORE LITERAL AND CREATIVE/UNORTHODOX IDEAS

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO COMMUNICATE?


COULD BE;

flag, 
ringtone, 
rug, 
wallpaper, 
exercise video, 
instruction manual, 
map,
perfume, 
clothing, 
game / puzzle,
piece of furniture 
etc


– Format (CD, Vinyl, mp3, streaming, etc)
 – Packaging, Editions, Objects, etc.
 – Digital vs Physical
 – Distribution / the purchasing / ownership of music.
