What is Good?

'Good' depends on you perspective, ethics, creative preferences, likes and dislikes (amongst other things) Its a matter of opinion rather than a statement of fact. You need to decide what is 'good' and design something that communicates your opinion, supports your argument or delivers your point of view.

Brief: Identify, research and present your opinions of what is good.

Tasks: Select five subjects, objects, concepts, statements and/or things that you think are good.

Spend the summer finding out what is good about them, what makes them good, what do other people think about them. Gather a broad range of material facts, figures, images, text and opinions that will help you understand your subject matter. You should aim to become an expert on your subjects.

Prepare a 3-5 minute presentation that summarises your findings and proves that you are right. You need to make believers of us all.
