Critical Selfie Stage One

My original idea was to go with one of the critical statements that was presented to us during the first project. The statements to choose from are the following:

- Design should be sexy
- Design should be environmental sustainable
- Design should serve as a symbol for consumer identity
- Design should speak to craft and the human hand
- Design should reflect innovation
- Design is just an excuse for making more junk
- Design should inspire people to see the world in a new way
- Design should connect people

So for the first stage, I went with "Design should be sexy" since it was the statement that I had worked with in the first project. To start off with this project, I walked through the more populated streets of Wellington and tried to think about the "sexy" that captures my attention. One thing I realised were the amount of advertising everywhere. I veered towards the women's advertising at this point since it was what I found sexy, and compared the different shops that advertised using women and their idea of "sexy".
