My dilemma at this point, is that I can forsee avenues of research, but not yet how this can translate to 60% of design outcomes. By taking an academic approach, is it possible to have part of my outcome more thesis based? When I'm researching, I find the combination of integrating this with creativity/making/design an effective process. In 740 & 720 I found alternating practice + academic research provided balance, stimulation & pushed me to better outcomes.

(My downfall in both was taking on too larger scope for the timeframe of the brief, never quite achieving a status of completion).

In terms of audiences: I am intrigued working on solutions that aid neurodiverse children. This is based on my son's diagnosis of ADHD+Autism, and I believe designers have a responsibility to produce solutions which can help people with unique needs.

Before I travel further down my renowned rabbit holes of peer reviewed studies, I need to clarify whether it is within the allowances of 750 to progress prior projects, and whether it is possible to distribute more of my SP 60% weighting toward a written outcome, even if that means a creatively designed & physically produced artifact.

SUMMARY: Questions for tutors:

• how does the academic-focused SP look compared to otherwise?

• Is the academic component only 30% or can it extend into the outcome 60% if creatively produced?

• Can I elaborate on past projects or must it be module distinct?

INITIAL IDEAS:

What is the cognitive connection between typographic presentation & page layout & ADHD? How can this be tested?

• gestalt

• finish & test typeface

• analyse eye tracking data from web & art studies

• mockup

• can I design some intervention to use for reading? I stimulating peripheral vision?

• adding stimulation/variation?

BIOPHILIC DESIGN

How can the principles & practices of Biophilic Design be employed to enhance visual communication about climate change? How does the graphic design/ visual language of conspiratorial data on climate change, differ to scientific data? How can Biophilic Designs be utilised to enhance the learning environment of elementary/primary aged Children?(Particularly ADHD/ SPD children students.)

TYPOGRAPHY SEMIOTICS

How is typography multimodal in beginning novels? How does this typographic presentation transfer to greater comprehension or even a sensory experience? Measuring This might be beyond the scope of the module but some how I could break it down although my outcome production is unclear.

NEURO ARTS The Neuroart Blueprint identifies the graphic design areas of iconography and typography as potentially having a contribution to neuroaesthetics.

How?
