The Work This Week:
Week Three involved us waiting to present our research to our client, as they requested we push back our meeting to Monday next week. Understandable, because they were busy preparing for the grand opening of the Tepper Building at the end of the week.
In the meantime, we took advantage by continuing to curate our research for our presentation next week. We narrowed down our ideas from “this is the research we did and here are some of the ideas that came out of it” to “here are three feasible directions we could go with this project.” The ideas coming to mind so far include projection mapping, physical computing, and interactive display. We will compile these ideas along with the methods for displaying the selfies (i.e. with backdrops of CMU vs. with images of other students/visitors) and present them to our client next Monday.
We also got a head start on internal branding, coming up with four ideas for our poster that we presented with our faculty advisors. We will most likely be going forward with the Dots Idea (top-right), trying to blend it with some of the aesthetics from the Lines Idea (bottom-left):
Along with the poster drafts, we compiled a draft our logo as well as our project description.
Going Forward:
Next week, in having our client meeting, we will hopefully nail down a direction going forward. We will also continue to prep for 1/4s, which will be held at the start of Week 5.
