Big Idea Rough Draft

Purpose is my big idea. Why and how things with purpose play a major role in our lives every day. So big of a role that we forget that it is even there, it comes to us naturally. An example is of a traffic light, some thing so little (even though a stop light is actually bigger than assumed) influences the way we drive, in a way to keep us safe from running in to one another. So the ultimate purpose of a traffic light is to keep us safe, by not obeying the traffic light may cause accidents, some times very tragic accidents. Visual themes of the Brainstorming assignment are how other signs influence our actions from day-to-day such as a "Do not touch" sign. This is one of the more dangerous signs out in the World today. Because when you see it, you ask yourself "Why?" and your first impulse (at least for me) is to touch whatever the sign says do not touch. I choose this idea for my Big Idea project because it represents how every thing and anything no matter how big or small can serve a purpose some how.

  1. I think this big idea is really unique, at least, the way you are interpreting it is. I think if you can build off that idea of signs/directions influencing our purpose in a creative way, your project will be really interesting! Especially if you focus on the question of "Why?"
