WEEK 8 CLASS – Meeting with tutors - discussing week 7 presentation/blog

Overall, the discussion went well, in terms of our idea and it’s potential for the market. There were several things suggested to us however, that could be helpful when going ahead and completing our ideas:

-       Health and safety: in terms of having bubble wrap on the ground of our booth, it could become very dangerous due to becoming slippery as a result of the bubble mixture. So suggestions made instead were to use some sort of surface that had a decent amount of friction such as carpet.

-       Sounds and lighting: we were planning on having some form of sound, but hadn’t really discussed what exactly yet, and bubble sounds were suggested to us. Lighting is something that we definitely need to look into, in terms of how we would place it in the box, what kind of lighting we would use, what colours we would use.

-       Testing our concept: we need to completely build our design to full scale at least once before the actual market day, in order to see that everything will work successfully and test the bubble process within the area for at least an hour.

-       More blog research: some contextual research and ideas could be developed for the blog, in terms of inspiration, images, inter-relating ideas

We have also now discussed that we will make the box by stacking fully put together boxes on top of each other, to make our structure a lot more easy to put up and take down, as well as being a more affordable option. We would make sure the all areas that needed to be covered up, would be covered by drop sheets, as well as an extra surface for the floor to prevent slippery surfaces.
