MAGAZINE / CONCEPTS

A meeting was based on the content and name of the magazine.

What information will attract others?
What are our interests?
How do we present this?

Concepts:

1. Timetable - A day in the life of a designer:

The first concept is based on creatine a timetable of a day which will include:

* Morning - What designers do in the morning?
* Afternoon - How we do our work, different design workflows and skills.
* Evening  - Our interests or what we do in our spare time (short story).

The name should be something to do with time, the present. The first idea was to represent different time zones and different lifestyles according to the person's culture and where they are from.

2. Cookbook:

To design a cookbook. Each person should create a design resolution of the recipe for their favorite dish, dessert or a drink. The recipe should include a short story of the chosen dish. 

3. Today's Issues

Issues that affect us personally and also the world. How design can solve these issues or how these issues and design work together. Each person should write an article on a particular issue of their choice. The idea was inspired by the second concept of creating a cookbook. Instead of making a cookbook with recipes, it will include different today's issues.

To divide a magazine into three sections:

* The menu - laid out like a food menu including today's issues for e.g.
' Global Warming and Consumerism'  - page 5-6
* Introducing the Chefs - the chefs are designers.
* The restaurant - The use of the metaphor - every chef's dream is to open a restaurant. Metaphorically, the restaurant is a representation of design goals and dreams. Based on the writer's/designer's beliefs and how they want to solve a certain world or political issue, their hopes and fears.

4. Designer's time:

To divide a magazine into three or four sections:

* What's in your bag? - A story of each item and its background.
* What's designers life like?
* What are designers interested in?
* The impact of designer's work on the world.
