The brief

The project is open plan but had some guidelines. This is a pass/fail module, and does not matter to final grade, but like still need to do well.

The whole project is about a response to a city. We should study the city and create a physical response, so you can experience it without being there.

The city is not a specific place, it is an entity that we create. It isn’t Manchester.

It doesn’t have to be just a city, it could be issue based or people based.

We should think in detail about what a city is. What is a city? How are we influenced by it? How could we represent it? How does it smell? How does it feel? How does it look?

Look into different inspirations for what we could do, research into different artists and campaigns. For instance, Olivare Ratsi used joiner photography to show famous buildings, which creates a really abstract and interesting effect.

We should represent things visually and physically. So, we could make infographics to show statistics visually. The end result should be creative and interesting, play around take risks. It should be a mix of physical and digital work.

We should make a target audience for our project. Who is it made for? What have we made? Why are we making it? What is its purpose?

It could be UX based and be interactive/reactive.

We have to put together an exhibition then present it to the other groups. There is three weeks until it has to be handed in, so time management is important.

Reflective report due in Friday afternoon. Presentation is on Thursday at 2pm, so we will have time to sort everything out. Need to send a link to my blog. Document the processes and experiences and what I have individually and as a group produced. Need to send an export of the blog, date stamped (Will also be a backup) -BOOKBLOGGER. Any sketch books or anything needs to be handed in. Need to also write about the team work, the casebook should be 30 pages of everything that we’ve worked on, so need to show research into everything (Video, Posters, Script, etc)
