Concept Statement

What Is Good?

Dyslexia Is good...

"Dyslexia is good because it allows us to be creative in unconventional ways. "

I am to design fictional products relating to the positive aspects of Dyslexia. These products will be for a store front for a Dyslexia Support Drop in centre.

The store front will be based on the same concept as used by the 836 writting company. Information on the Super Hero Store and The Time Travel Mart can be found on my context blog.

These Are Good

I've started to jot down anything I think is good, be it controversial or plain obvious to the aspects of my personality and hobbies.

I've narrowed down the subjects a little bit but I think I'm going to research more into Dyslexia. (obviously the positive aspects of having it. It's something that affects me and I don't find it a hindered like people without it perceive it too be.

What do I personally think is good?

Trying to figure out what I personally believe is good was a bit of a struggle at first. There was the obvious stuff like comic books, reading and drawing and then there was some controversial stuff (A.D.D and Dyslexia.) My reasons are my own, just like my opinions but I'll try and list a few things and a reason why I believe it's good.

Comic Books: Because they're everything in one. Graphic Design, Illustration, Story. Maybe because I've been into this stuff nearly all my life, but I don't see myself tiring of it any time soon.

Darwin: This man is my God.... The older generations of my family are quite religious, I'm...not. I believe in science and that we all came from one single organism billions of years ago. Yet some people find this very hard to believe. But Einstein said Science with out religion is blind. Religion with out science is lame, so who knows.

Dyslexia: I think I'm in an Einstein mood today. It's often been known as the "strange genius disease." Not that I'm calling myself a genius but noted people such as Einstein, Alexander Bell, Thomas Edison, Leonardo Da Vinci, Andy Warhol, Walt Disney all had or were noted to have Dyslexia on some level. These people are noted genius' within their profession. Dyslexic people are intuitive, highly intelligent and creative individuals who are visual, multi-dimensional thinkers. But because they think in pictures, they have troubles when it comes to letters, numbers, symbols, and written words. I love reading and writing....I just can't always do it right. Hello miss read sentences and typeanesse.

Dinosaurs: Who doesn't like the idea of great big lizards once roaming the Earth?

Peanut Butter: Whoever decided to mash up peanuts into a paste was a genius. Many nut allergy suffers would disagree.

Submerged computers: Building a computer inside an aquarium and filling it with mineral oil (a mild laxative), using that as a cooling system so the computer never over heats. It's brilliant, it works and I'm saving up to make one myself (They cost about £150 to make but if you can get the parts cheap or for free...yay!)

There are hundreds more that I could write about all day but for now I'm just generating ideas.
