Latest Thoughts.

So...
I just went through what I have posted on here so far and have come to a rough idea of what topic I would like to progress with.

I believe that Thesis should be an opportunity to enlighten people about a subject that they don't know much about (while at the same time furthering my knowledge of the subject).
Additives in food is a subject that some people think they understand and have some grasp of which ones to avoid. But a lot of people are a little off put by all of the long chemical sounding names and have no idea what their purpose is and whether they are good or bad for us.
I am proposing to design something that will clear up what different additives are. Whether they are good or bad. Where to find them. What their purpose is. Something educational that people can go away from having learned something and hopefully apply it the next time they are in the grocery store.

As far as design opportunities. I have been interested in the USDA food guide pyramid and I think it could be fun and interesting to construct a new additives pyramid that has the okay additives at the bottom and the ones to stay away from at the top.
This could be produced as an interactive webpage, as posters, as a psa, a 3D graphic could be fun. The possibilities are there, it's just finding the appropriate one for the topic.
