Checkpoint 1 – 17th November 2010

Checkpoint 1 – 17th November 2010

Description

Most of my work is placed in my folder as I find it easier to work in. I also have some work on my blog and in my sketchbook.

The very first thing that I’ve done was think of my ideas. My ideas have been put into a 2-paged document with short descriptions. Then after that I, expanded on my three ideas, with a wider description of the idea. Also for each idea, I have created a rough layout for what the product would look like. My three ideas are descriptive. I have done a lot of work for the ideas, as the ideas are important as one will be chosen out of them for me then to work on and produce. This took a while as I found it very difficult to understand the exam document. The ideas slowly came along. I have created and presented my presentation, which had two of my ideas in, that interested me the most. After the presentation to the client, I was aloud to choose which idea I wanted to produce as the client like them both and thought that they would be doable. After this I have started the working process on idea 1, looking into cities with futuristic looking buildings, getting future city examples. It is still a work in process. Just yesterday I have started on the audience feedback of idea one, but no one seems to want to give me feedback. Today I am hoping to create a questionnaire for my idea 1 and have people look at my idea and answer the questions.

Analysis

I was surprised by the views of the client after the presentation of my two ideas. I was also aloud to choose which idea I want to work on and produce, and for me, it was idea one where they world and technology come together to create this advanced city as I strongly believe that it can be done. After the presentation, I have started to work and develop my idea, since the presentation. Also gathering feedback on the idea and still gathering feedback on it witch I plan to do tonight or tomorrow when I am not at college.

Evaluation

I found it difficult to think of my ideas due to me finding it hard to understand the exam document. It was a long process for me to understand it and to get my three ideas. Since I have though of my ideas, I have found this exam project quite enjoyable, as I am left alone to do my work. I have needed a rough outline of where I need to go next after finishing an item. At the moment I feel that I am on track. I am looking forward to start producing the product in a week or two’s time. I have also found it difficult to get audience feedback. I have posted a message on Facebook, which leads to a link with my idea on a separate blog, asking if they could read it and give me their views/comments. I have also sent an email to all of my hotmail contacts, but have not received and feedback yet, so this has lead me to creating a questionnaire. This has still to be done, my aims is that it would be fully completed next Monday as I am also going to get member of the class to fill them out as well.

Forward Planning

From today, I plan to create my questionnaire and finish the audience feedback of my idea. They would be place in my work folder afterwards. Any negative feedback from the questionnaires will be taken into account and I would work on the negative feedback with my idea and make it better. I am also going to research online to see an estimate prediction of when the world could, or might be possible to create something like my idea. Even though, I believe with today’s technology, the world could create a city like my idea now ready for around 2025

Next week I shall start to sketch some building designs in my sketchbook, then some designs for a shack town. I shall also use the web to get a huge collection of technology company logos so that I can get a more of an idea of what the product will look like.
