PROJECT 6
A Protocol

Parsons GD Lecture Series, No Ideas, 2020.
QUESTION
How might you build a compelling digital experience based off a strict set of requirements?
OVERVIEW
Restrictions are embedded in the work we produce as designers, whether we like it or not. From budgets, to clients, to fonts, to colors, most of these choices are out of our control when dealing with clients of various shapes and sizes. Despite the negativity around a resriction, they help us push, navigate and venture into new territories. Without them, as designers, we would be in a constant search of something to hold onto.
ASSIGNMENT
In this assignment, you are going to be given a random set of restrictions. Through this set of restrictions you and your partner will develop a compelling interactive experience that can take the shape of either a website, product, or environment. You can not depart from any of the requirements or restrictions, they are the only elements you can use to develop the project.
Remember, think about this set of requirements as way into the work, not a way of limiting the work.
