The problem we were given to solve is based around money and the economy. We chose to look into political parties and their policies based around money (spending, intended tax alternations, money divisions etc)
I chose to look into the Labour party, here are their core policies at a glance
1. Raise the Minimum Wage
to £8 an hour and ban
exploitative zero hour
contracts
2. Freeze energy bills until 2017
while reforming the broken
energy market
3. Cut the deficit more fairly by
asking those earning over
£150,000 to contribute a little
more through a 50p rate of
tax
4. Get at least 200,000 homes
built a year by 2020 and
deliver a fairer deal for
private renters
5. Scrap the Bedroom Tax
6. Require all firms that have a
major government contract
to offer apprenticeships
7. Repeal the Tories’ plans
to bring competition and
privatisation to the NHS
8. Ensure the NHS has time to
care with 8,000 more doctors
and 20,000 more nurses,
funded by a mansion tax on
homes worth over £2m
9. Control immigration so that
entitlements to benefits are
earned and wages are not
undercut
10. Devolve power to Scotland,
Wales, and the cities and
counties of England
A graphic solution must be developed in response to the research, design justifications must be purely research based and chosen out of contextual understanding avoiding personal or aesthetic influence.
Our Response:
A website where users can select from a number of options and certain categories (education, pensions, minimum wage) they feel would personally connected to; and are then taken to a page listing each parties policy and intended spending on this issue.
Colours: The responses for each party would be in each parties colour to make them easily recognisable.
The look: similar to price comparison sites for choices and decisions for easy usability
