Practical
Look at the 3 ideas

• How do they link? 
• Are they feasible? 
• Are they relevant? 
• Strengths and Weaknesses? 
• Design discipline? 
• Suggestions as to how to proceed? 

Consider a rationale for each idea - write 3 sentences.
The practical needs to be a really focused thing, doesn't have to be a massive project - it's about researching.

How has design changed from 1999 to now - the designs. Redesign famous things out there into y2k.
Look at how a specific area in design has been affected e.g product design.
Create a fake special editions for a company and see how people react to that.
If you like type you could focus in on typefaces being affected by that design era and create your own design.

Massive archive - all the shapes from Photoshop. Collection of items from the same area thats been archived into a catalogue - archive of shapes for photoshop
Look into catalogue? A way to catalogue things that are collected but what's the purpose?
Looking at context of design - how that makes it special.
