"The secret of getting ahead is getting started..." Check.
"...The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." Oops.
Lately, my focus has been more on what countries I wanted to compare and what I could design than what I will actually be designing. I didn't even realize this until my critique.
I have been considering items that are practical and of value (based on need) in each culture. I have also been thinking of things I would be interested in designing labels, packaging, etc. for. My thoughts so far are shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, underwear, socks, paper, cooking utensils/plates and cups, lotion, towels/face wash, blankets, and hats. I really like the idea of soap or laundry detergent when we are talking about necessities - especially because they can be quite different for different cultures. I also like the idea of using something that has to do with food, like cooking utensils or plates, because it is something that everyone uses and something I am interested in (food). I have also considered working a sustainability component.
Starting now I must put my research on hold and focus on exactly what I am going to make!
