In this week’s set reading, designer and author Mel Campbell writes about the appeal of handmade things and things that appear hand-crafted even when they’re made using new technology or mass-manufactured. She considers the idea that choosing hand-made things can be a critique of consumerism. She concedes that while the handmade can be a kind of luxury and “just another kind of consumerism”, that on the other hand “it’s good to support small sellers of handmade goods.” (2009, p.17)

在本周的集阅读，设计师和作家梅尔·坎贝尔写道：手工制作的东西，出现手工制作的东西，即使他们采用新的技术或质量制造的吸引力。她认为，想法，选择手工制作的东西，可以是一个消费主义的批判。她承认，虽然手工制作，可以是一种奢侈和“只是另一种消费主义”，另一方面，“这是很好的支持小卖家对手工制品。”（2009年，第17页）

Select an example of interior/ communication/ interface design, an applied illustration (packaging, magazine layout, etc), advertisement or animation that has a purposefully amateur, overtly hand-crafted, or hobby aesthetic. Write a short article of 200-250 words, explaining who the target demographic is for this design or media production and why you think this approach or aesthetic has been chosen to appeal to this group and at this time. Incorporate one relevant quote from Campbell’s article. The quote should be used to support your argument and must be grammatically integrated. You must use an in-text reference. As always, please follow the Swinburne Harvard style: see under `Assignment Brief' for the short guide or the Swinburne Library page for the complete guide. 

选择室内/通信/界面设计，应用说明（包装，杂志布局等）的一个例子，广告或动画有故意业余，公然手工制作，或爱好的审美。 200-250字写一篇短文，说明这种设计或媒体生产目标人群是谁以及为什么你认为这种方法或美学吸引到这个组，而此时已被选定。纳入相关报价从坎贝尔的文章。报价应当用于支持你的论点，必须语法整合。

The ability to integrate relevant quotes to support your argument is something you must demonstrate in your Issue Assignment. This task provides practice in that skill.

Consider the task as a piece of design journalism, as a coherent piece of analysis, opinion and comment about professional design that incorporates roughness, amateurism, technical ‘flaws’. Embed an image if possible. An extra mark will be awarded for coming up with a relevant and imaginative title for your short article which you will write in the subject box of your post.
