Flags of Value - planning & 'bully' test

Starting to think about the project for the Royal Academy.  We will work with the shirts that the fashion students are making to represent their values as flags.

We have been thinking about the values that make us unique and then in contrast thinking about some of the difficulties that we face that can stop us thinking for ourselves, leading to following the crowd on auto pilot.
