Wednesday Class

Today's class consisted of presentations from each group on where they'd gotten to in their first week.

For our group, we got some really good feedback on the fact that ideation wise we'd done really great, but what our project needed was the backing research to flesh it out and lead the next lot of decision making. This was really valuable feedback.

After seeing all of the presentations I was really inspired by the safety idea that had been raised by the Wildcard group so during shuffle time I moved over with them to discuss moving forward.

It seemed a lot of people were interested in what the wildcard team had come up with and so we split into two groups - 1 group looking at the Wellington identity idea, and the other looking at the safety idea.

I got together with the other people doing safety and we decided that the intersection on Cuba street that had been raised held a lot of potential but that the original location at the Cuba/Manners intersection also still held a lot of merit and that to start with it might be best to look into both locations, so 3 of us are looking into the intersection up by Ekim, and the other 3 are looking into the intersection of Manners and Cuba, then we will meet and decide on whether we need to select just one location to move forward or if it we think it is possible to devise a system that will be applicable to both, and more dangerous pedestrian spots in Wellington.

I am really excited to shift onto a new brief and one that I have a bit more experience with.

Ideation is also my favourite part of working on a brief and this project is still in it's initial stages so I am excited to be able to work on ideation again for another brief.
