Design Brief 1- 9/13/11

For my first context I chose the transit station. I liked the idea of creating work for a space that would have a wide variety of viewers... business people commuting to work, students of all ages on the way to school, the homeless, transit workers, as well as people visiting the city.

For my second context I chose the zoo. When I think of the zoo, the first thing I think of is an elementary school field trip... so teachers, their students and parent chaperons are a major audience. But these children might also visit the zoo with their families on the weekend, which brings in children older or younger than elementary school aged, as well as parents and grandparents.
