This evening I helped Marcos Chavez, owner of design agency TODA critique a class of design students from Parsons New School of Design. I critiqued it together with Andreas Anderskou (Project manager) and Ann Suvarnapunya (Graphic designer). The Idea was to do the session kind of “Project Runway” style and I think that worked out pretty good. At least the students sounded like they’d been getting some feedback that they could use.
The assignment brief was to: “Create a catalog that poses the question “Why are you here?” to the artist of your choice. The catalog should showcase the work of the artist while also telling the story of what the artist’s work is about.”
The work was, for the most part, really good and well made. Most of the students had a really high level of finish to their catalog dummy’s – something most danish students could learn from :-) It was fun to see the work of the American students compared to the once I teach i Denmark. Basically there wasn’t that much of a difference – maybe the student I’m used to teaching are a bit more conceptual in their approach, but then again these students where quite a bit younger than the danish once, so tath might have something to do with it.
Unfortunately I didn’t get any photos of the actual student work to share with you.
