This blog will be about the current project I'm doing in college for the next 3 weeks, called "My Friends & Other Things". I will be working with Louise and Billy, and we will be documenting our projects on our own blogs.

In this project the brief asks us to explore and design to encourage a certain behaviour, discourage or do both. The following exercises were to get us in the right thinking mode and to give us an idea what it is this project is asking us to do.

Our first task was to think of 3 behaviours that we would like to change. These can be personal or universal.

After spending some time thinking about my daily routine, daily routine of my family, of my class mates, it sparked some inspiration. The 3 behaviours that I want to change or encourage that I decided to go with:
  • People leaving packs of biscuits and cereal open, therefore making them go stale 
  • Cars driving past pedestrians on a rainy day and splashing them 
  • Boiling the kettle a few seconds/ minutes after someone else just boiled it 
These behaviours I observe or experience on a daily basis so they are actual things that do bother me day-to-day. Tomorrow we will present and share these with the rest of the class.
