Essay Practical Work - The Brief

In this blog shows me making my own brief for this Practical Exploration work for the essay question that I have chosen to answer. 'What is the relationship between branding and the consumer self?'. For my essay for this question, my practical work should reflect my essay answer. Therefore my essay basically talks about the importance on how we in society today use brands to identify ourselves through specific labels of clothing etc. 

Here below is information about my brief and how and what ways I am going to convey my answer through the practical work I will produce. 

The Brief –

Task: Practical Explorations

At this stage in the COP Module OUGD401, you should be beginning to consider what you would like to develop for your practical investigation for the chosen question you have selected. As for my chosen question, I have to produce some practical work for ‘what is the relationship between branding and the consumer self?’

The emphasis of COP brief is that you are able to apply research to practice. Therefore, you must produce something having done an amount of reading and other kinds of research (for your chosen essay question).

You must follow to a design process (as you would do for studio briefs) and document your developments and ideas - all your design decisions must be justified through your research.
