OUGD501 - COP2 [SB1] - Establishing a Research Question

Establishing a Research Question


I first created a mindmap of all the elements of design I am personally interested in, and tried to branch off topics from each of those elements. I found this useful because it helped me put everything into perspective and I was able to get all of my ideas down onto a single piece of paper. I then tried to slim down how many choices I had in order to make an easier choice.



 
My mindmap





My main choices after limiting the mindmap down were:

How did Design influence the Facism movement?

How has design influenced revolutions of the past?

How has advertising changed society's view on gaming?

Is social media a benefit or detriment to society?

What constitutes 'high fashion'?

Why do different socio-economic status' define the form of advertising?

How has design changed the gaming industry?

Was modernism a precursor for a totalarianism?

Out of these questions, I had to decide which would be the more researched topic and the topic I could write a concise but effective essay about. I thought about which topic I would enjoy writing about the most and the topic I could find the most previously documented information on.
