100 Days Project 2013

Emma Rogan, a New Zealand designer, read about the “100 Days of Design” project on the Design Observer Blog and instantly wanted to go to the Yale School of Art to take part. After finding out the fees were $US 55,000 and remembering her family and many other commitments at home, she decided to run her own 100 days project.

In 2012 Emma invited as many local creatives, designers and friends that she could think of to embark on the project with her. The premise was simple: For 100 days you must repeat a creative task of your choosing. The task must be repeated in some form every day and every time must be documented for eventual presentation. There were no other rules and the medium was completely open. 100 Days is not a commercial undertaking, but purely for fun. It is embarked upon in the spirit that good things will come from the repetition of an idea or process over 100 days.

In 2013, Emma ran the 100 Days project again and Diversityworks Trust entered. Our concept was “100 Faces of Diversity”. We found 100 people to help us make our project happen. They supplied a head and shoulders photo and sent it to us with the answer to this question: “What makes you unique?”. From 7 June 2013, when the project started, we blogged a photo a day on DPSN with people’s first name and quote.
