Who am I as a Designer? - A List of my Favourite Things

 

As part of our Cultural Context module we were asked to fill in our favourite things from a list provided by our lecturer. I have been tentative about doing this as I have to claim ignorance to some of the topics and say I simply do not know enough to have a favourite, and a quick google search is not going to inspire passion. However, as a designer we are constantly evolving and developing so I feel presenting an incomplete list will spur me to research and study these topics in hopes of broadening my knowledge and interests and improving as a designer. Below is a list of (some of) my favourite things:
