¡Este Semana!
¡Hola a todos!
As some of you may know, we got started a little late due to Hurricane Irene´s tirade throughout the north east. So we are about a week behind the normal ETC schedule, but our advisors Oscar and Emiliano have been nothing but supportive in trying to get us set up and back on track!
Last week we met with our client, the Hewlett-Packard Company and discussed the project that we would be working on this semester. Our general direction is to concept a way for architects or mechanical engineers to better show off their designs. We were all very excited to start the brainstorming process!
This week we finalized our logo, as well as completed the initial draft of our poster and half-sheet. We also got our website up and running and are currently in the process of filling it out a bit more.
We also continued the brainstorming process and met with our advisors as well as with our contact, Luis, at HP to start filtering and refining our ideas.
¡La Semana Proxima!
Next week we are meeting with HP at their Barcelona office to present our ideas and try to lock down a direction for our project. The rest of the week will be spent fleshing out ideas and coming up with a more concrete and refined semester schedule.
We will also be finalizing our poster and half-sheet design.
¡Challenges!
One of the big challenges we have faced this week was designing media, such as the poster and the half-sheet, without having a clear-cut project direction. Therefore a lot of our designs are a bit more abstract and focus on things such as the city of Barcelona.
We have also had to do a lot of running around to get situated, both at school and at home, so we have not had a lot of solid work time.
