After Tutorial

Hmm, I just re-read what I wrote on my last Blog- apologies for the horriffic grammar, that's what you get for being hungover and sat in a gallery for 6 hours thinkng about the same thing over and over, and over.

Anyway, I had a tutorial with Laura, the main issues and questions raised were:

Do I want to exhibit a series of prototypes, or a few finished pieces as part of my exhibition?

-I think I already know the answer to this, because in order for my products to be used and tested seriously, they must be to a certain standard of finish- I plan to spend time making them look presentable, and developing them as much as possible before they are tested.

User Group, I.e who is it?

-I decided that the user group is anyone who wants to swap identity, Laura suggested that the kind of person who wants to be an action hero will be a very different kind of person from one who wanted to be in a Film Noir. I plan to look into this by researching the genre's target audiences, although this will be more of a side project, as I don't plan to base the development of the designs on my findings in any way.

Laura also suggested that I film my VIVA, as I present badly (which is true) I think that a film would work better than a presentation anyway, as a lot of the products I have made are meant to create an action, if I made a film I use videos with a voiceover.

On another note, I have finished the Kung Fu drawers! Video of them working is coming soon. The plan now is to make the foam door, adn then send them both, and the Film Noir lampshade off for testing.
