Design Practice 1 - Communication is a virus

Chosen message and Initial Ideas

In this brief we have chosen the task of persuading people to tell the truth more, after initial talks with my group we went through various options but decided to focus on lying, this way we could promote telling the truth by discrediting lying, obviously this is not the first time people have tried to make others tell the truth in this way, but as this is a short brief we wanted to get some initial ideas down and make quick decisions so we have a solid idea of the direction of the project from the start.

Also to fulfill the brief and get the message to the public, we wanted a product that would involve the public so the message would be spread, admittedly only to a small percentage.

We decided that we wanted to design some kind of letter/ deposit box where the public will be asked to write lies on a piece of paper and put it in the box, we will try and design the box in a way that discredits lying.

A quick sketch of box shape and dimensions.
