WEEK 2
Shtilyan, the lifesaver
In the beginning, the fact that Shtilyan was in Bulgaria was a bit frustrating. In the end, it turned out to be our solution to our problems. He, with a fresh mind, came up with an amazing concept inspired by Chaldni's technique. We then talked about it, and tried to implement this idea into our concept. We then decided to create an interactive installation with a hologram as well as sounds, that people can control with their hand movements.
Getting our concept clear was not an easy thing. We had to talk to a lot of professors, as well as Jacob - a super cool artist - and the owner of the skate shop in the city. We god a lot of inspiration, and we finally got our concept straight.
week 9
The final week! This week was all about getting the green light, making the installation work and the final touches.
Sadly enough we could't make the code work fluently, at the end of this week, so we have to wait till Monday to get a green light.
Besides that we finished the outside "decoration" this week. We've put stickers in front of the installation, we observed that people feel invited by this wall to stick more stickers, which is a good thing! The wooden parts got a final layer, we made the installation firmer from the inside and so on.
My tasks for this week where: creating the user manual, creating the installation manual, create a final version for the one pager and to edit the design document.
I did change the user manual after some feedback from the teachers. With the first version it wasn't clear that our "call to action" is that people will visit our website where can be found more information about all the events. So that I changed.
It was a nice challenge to design the installation manual. After some iterations I am happy with the final design. We tested it with people that are also doing the FAT project and they all seemed to be very positive and said that it is clear enough.
In the end I printed the posters and the manuals to have a physically result, which is in my opinion is good to have!
Above all of this I went to the city to spread our posters and stickers around. All of our partners where really enthusiastic about the poster designs and said that they all are looking forward to visiting our installation next week.
