OUGD505 - Tom Joyes Workshop

The workshop designed and ran by Tom Joyes focused on potential political, ethical and economic issues which aimed to help us with studio briefs within our design practice module. However, the workshop was focused particularly on fictional realities. Each group got given a combination of three words, which we then had to research and produce a definition for this new word and then create a piece of work which helped to define this word, something which would exist in or relate to a potential alternative reality.

Guerrilla Internal Budget

Based on initial brainstorming of ideas and research into the three words we were given, it was decided to produce a video showing a new piece of software that could be available in an alternative reality whereby people can choose to pay a certain amount of money to be given a totally new identity if they have been involved in criminal activity for instance (based on the various definitions of the word 'guerrilla').
