Today we had another exchange and it was exciting to see everyones ideas coming together. I showed my exchange group my team's idea of high five week as a campaign leading to an event a the end of the week. I also showed the group the range of tshirts I had photoshoped with our logo on it. They liked the watermelon colour and the logo. They also like the prototyped videos of us hi-fiving business people and commended us on our bravery and found it amusing that business people behaved in such a surprising manor of accepting our hi-five.
The following are some quick notes that I took down while I was telling them my team's ideas and development:
-Focus on their reactions
-Give people something to take with them
-Brighter colour palette
Bree talked about her Spatial project of designing an aquatic house inspired by boat houses. Built half on water and half on land. She is developing the layout of it and testing out a detachable room that floats on the water. Callum suggested that the room not be completely detachable as I said that it would be unnerving to sit in a room that could potentially float away. So we thought that she could pull the room out so that it has a mote of water surrounding it and leads through from the kitchen. I also suggested to her to use more curves in her design to give more of an aquatic feel and so that the users can follow the sun around the house and would connect the kitchen and living areas together.
Callum is doing a multipurpose camping utensil for his industrial project. He is redesigning the pot clamp thing and giving it more purpose in preperation of food while camping. Since the last exchange he has scrapped his original idea and moved to this. The purpose of his design is save space and give more purpose to existing product thats out there. His current design incorporates a fork and spoon and the pot clamp. I suggested that he can go bigger and also put a clip or possible attachment for a torch and the tong feel also leaves an opportunity for a flint in the clamping motion
