In one of our sessions with Simon Pope we were asked the question, What are your motivations for making work in this field? Money?, Fame?, Contribution to knowledge"? For the good of society? and are these motivations apparant in your personal project?
When looking at my personal project i think that its motivation comes from not just one but maybe all of the above. Creating Urbnkila's clothing line was first created through my passion for fashion, art and design, its only when you get deeper into the concept that you realise if successful you could potentially make alot of money if your work is driven at the right market, in the right way and speeaks for itself in quality of design. Making slot of money is obviously everyones dream in todays society as life becomes much more comfortable to live so yes money would be a motivation behind urbnkila and my personal project. Maybe a potential invester or employee will like how we have branded the company or even be offered work from it.
Fame is also a factor as i certainly would want some recognition for my hard work i would like Urbnkila as a brand to be far more recognizable than myself as and individual so its not for personal fame. My research paper aimed to contribute knowledge to the design industry into what elements were important when creating visually stimulating motion design so that in my opinion also contributes to knowledge. Aswell as this i have had numerous emails about Urbnkila's products fro fellow designers and customers saying that what we do as designers is an inspiration to them and edges them on to do what they do as designers which is nice to hear, so maybe that motivates for the good of society also.
A person or brand as ahe can well be thought of now that create for their own fame and exposure as well as making money would be Paris Hilton. Organisations such as Green Peace and WWF are fine examples of people who Contribute to knowledge while being for the good of society.
