Photos after edit

My final design stand point as a flaneur was that we as a society find and execute creativity and design within our everyday. Whether this is for a functional purpose or a stylistic one and sometimes both. We find ways to manipulate the purpose of some designs to please us aesthetically and make our lives easier.

My final haiku is as follows:

Creativity?
It’s just common sense to us.

We are designers.

Compostion photos Before edit

These are the photos I will be using in my final Composition. I plan to draw an image over top of the photo that describes the intended use of the design.

Using a sign post as a chair.

Using a bin as a canvas.

Using the belt loops to hold your keys

Using a skate board as a chair.

Using a jug as a container

Wearing a hat backward.

Using a beer crate as a storage unit.

Using a mirror as a note book. 

Flaneur session 2

I will continue to look at people misusing different everyday design. I find myself interested in the way people manipulate everyday design to be more suitable for their own design identities and individuality. I may add a drawn element into my final composition that acts as a blue print as to how the design was meant to be used. 

Running shoes while walking.

Using a pram to carry bags.

Wearing long boots when its not snowing.

Using the grown as a sorting desk.

Using plastic bags as a Seat cover

Using seats as a coat hanger. 

Wearing sun glasses on top of your head.

First time "Flaneuring"

So these are my first shots from my first time exploring the city as a flaneur. I found it hard to develop a clear stand point and perspective but I looked at every day design to articulate one. I looked at how the combinations of different things developed new everyday design and at how people neglected to use things the way they ere designed to be used; whether it was to generate a style or just in ignorance.
