Why I choose that Topic:
What really fascinates me about Conditional Design is the fact that you have to work in a team to achieve a final result. You complement one another and inspire each other.
I think it is fascinating that Conditional Design really concentrates on the design process, because that is also a quiet important thing when you design something.
I like it that on the one hand you are free and on the other hand you still have to follow some basic rules.
In the end you will always have a completely different outcome, because every time there's a something different about the design process. That leads to very individual, artistic and beautiful artwork- and design pieces!
Research and Development:
Description of my Project:
I created a webpage/online platform where people can upload personal information/pictures/quotes/etc. that are happy or lovely.
The purpose of the webpage is to give people the chance to create something big together and to be part of a design.
The aim is to create a book ("Collection of Happiness"), that will actually be printed and for sale in the end. To reach that aim everybody is invited to upload things that he/she loves or that inspire him/her.
In the end you have a beautiful and individual collection that consists of the input of people all around the world, every age and every origin.
The link to the webpage is:
