Well i haven’t posted up any thing for ages mostly because my work has consumed most of my time im in my final year of uni now and hopefully ill be geting round to putting up some stuff from that soooooon the more eagle eyed of you may have noticed the blog has changed from the frenz design blog to the golem design blog after alot of research and soul searching i felt it was a more accurate pseudonym for me . any way this post was just to let y’all know I am still alive .
Ways of making it more accessible to the public / promotion of recycling
GREEN ISSUES
As a designer incorporating eco friendly practices to help improve ECO awareness
Renewable / sustainable power
WHAT IF WE HAD TO LEAVE PLANET EARTH
Terra-forming other planets / space stations – what would humanity evolve into without earth as a home environment.
TECHNOLOGY
Sentient machines /AI would robots take over the earth
Could mans reliance on machines be his ultimate downfall
RESOURCE DEPLEATION.WHAT IF?
Because of a massive shortage of resources and lack of investment into alternatives to fossil fuels for energy the struggle control of the precious remnants of fossil fuels has sparked a war of epic proportions and the use of nuclear weapons by all sides although not resulting in M.A.D has made parts of the earth extremely inhospitable and the use of radiation suits to venture outside of the sealed cities mandatory it is a harsh existence for those who cannot afford to spend their days in the sealed cities but perhaps not for long as a revolution is on the horizon
RESOURCE DEPLEATION & GREEN ALTERNATIVES. WHAT IF?
Because of the irresponsible/over use of fossil fuels the earth’s atmosphere has slowly become more and more poisonous and weather patterns became more severe causing huge population shifts around the world. However before this in the early 2000’s after the success of the “EDEN PROJECT” many of the more developed countries started building “EDEN SITES” around important cities that were crucial to their economies. The “EDEN SITES” were built in much the same way as the Eden project Biospheres except on a much larger scale that incorporated housing and workplaces they were perfect self contained atmosphere controlled cities & when Agriculture became impossible many biospheres were developed strictly for agricultural purposes. However the “EDEN SITES” can only sustain a small portion of the population so when the selection process of who could live and work and live inside the “EDEN SITES” people had to be left out. How would this effect human morale?
HUMANITY
War its effect on the globe and its population propaganda and mass paranoia
Can one voice be heard amongst the global population to change our ways before its too late who’s voice would it be?
The aim of propagandism is to influence people’s opinions or behaviors actively, rather than merely to communicate the facts about something. For example, propaganda might be used to gather either support or disapproval of a certain position, rather than to simply present the position, or to try to convince people to buy something, rather than to simply let them know there is some thing on the market.
What separates propagandism from “normal” communication is in ways by which the message attempts to shape opinion or behavior, which are often subtle and insidious among other characteristics. For example, propagandism is often presented in a way that attempts to deliberately evoke a strong emotion, especially by suggesting illogical (or non-intuitive) relationships between concepts or objects (for instance between a “good” car and an attractive woman or a sex symbol).
An appeal to one’s emotions is, perhaps, a more obvious and common propagandist method than those utilized by some other more subtle and insidious forms. For instance, propagandism may be transmitted indirectly or implicitly, through an ostensibly fair and balanced debate or argument. This can be done to great effect in conjunction with a broadly targeted, broadcast news format. In such a setting, arguments using “red herring” and other ploys (such as Ignoratio elenchi) are often used to divert the audience from a critical issue, while the intended message is suggested through indirect means.
Following the recent Blackwater incidents P.M.C’s have become more known to the civilian populous but what few of the them don’t know is that there are well over a hundred organizations operating outside of the law . . . scary right .
Welcome indeed to the post apocalyptic retro future how are you going to survive ?
Are you fortunate (rich) enough to have been born and live in the Utopian cities or are you a worker who has had to toil and now fight for your right to exist . . . .
So i went back to Manchester the other day so i visited the magma bookshop and picked up some of their
awesome magazines
Also i picked up a jacket whilst i was home i thought the tag was kinda cool because it says design unlikely futures on it
thought it fitted our brief quite well it was a weird moment …
