Interview guidelines:

Design requires research. Often times you will need to find an expert on a subject and crystalize their unique perspective with images and words. This requires an open dialogue. You can either approach this work like a journalist or as an oral history project(The latter is much more difficult and requires some training see http://www.doingoralhistory.org/Workshop/Trans_wshop.htm) Talk with you group and decide on subject you would like to find out more about.  Perhaps this will require a discussion of the subject of your final projects. There is an example on my blog Pile of Dirt. It is an interview I conducted via email with fashion designer Jade Chiu. I met her on a plane a few years ago and I thought she would be and interesting subject.  Come up with about 10 questions based on what you already know about your subject and record their responses through transcription,  audio, or video. Post the work (the documentation of your process, the photos, and your interview ) on your blog. This is going to take a lot of planning and coordination so start as soon as you all can.
