The theme of Design in Context 291 is Design History, Production and Consumption. This unit examines a broad range of modernist and post modern design theories and their related contexts. The concepts addressed are investigated through an exploration of both 20th century 'design classics' and the broader fields of popular culture, mass production and consumption as they relate to the development of the design discipline and its practice. Leading fields of design are addressed with examples drawn from graphics, advertising, multimedia, product development, fashion, design photography, art direction and illustration. The unit is intended to give both a sound grounding in 20th century design history and the opportunity to explore how recent ideas and concepts influence current design practice across a wide range of design disciplines.
