We shall design a conceptual cover for Miklós Szentkuthy’s Chapter on Love, published by CMP in 2020. Your solutions should provide an interpretation of both the content of the book, and its exuberant and polyponic style. The synopsis of the book will be used (edited) to typeset the back cover text. Be bold, daring, and unorthodox. (The project includes a lecture by Erika Mihálycsa, the translator of the book.)

We shall create a wayfinding system for a large local public space — indoor or outdoor. You will need to study how the space is used and design a coherent typographic identity to support the navigation of the physical space. The starting point for our work will be writing a taxonomy of the activities that happen in the space: a list of all relevant actions, circulation paths, decision points, rooms, etc. Such plan will feed the design of your personal map for the building or space, and a flexible visual signage system that will include custom icons and symbols.

We shall make a conceptual, informative and educational game of the design process, a game that challenges the player(s) to think and act like a designer. The relation with the client must be included to the best of your knowledge to day, and as a result of your research (e.g. a “tribute game”).
What designers offer to clients is [a way of] thinking. Our processes determine the quality of our products, and so if we wish to improve our products, we must improve our processes; we must continually rethink not just our products but also the way we design. That’s why we play with the design process — to know what we do and how we do it, to understand it and improve it, and to become better designers. The creative process plays an important role in design as well as in business strategy.
Your game will seek a common framework for why design adds value to clients’ interests. It will be a game on the power of designing (with people and for the people) and on the importance of iteration and behavior. In order to recognize all culturally important forms of making, the game should function to absorb the messages of inclusion and diversity in the field of “design thinking” and in society at large; your story will allow others to relate to facts, contexts and emotions, about the problem-solving activity.
Find an original name for the game (logo). The final outcome will be a freely conceived prototype of the game: a set of objects, a set of dice, a deck of cards, a board game, etc. — anything that makes you play the design process game.
