Hey everyone!
Autumn break? Nah. We’re hard at work, finishing off three of our concepts. We’re presenting these brand-new-just-out-of-the-box ideas to ProRail next monday, and the idea is that they’ll choose one of our concepts for us to develop. There was writing, scribbling, drawing, sketching, folding, gluing, lining, brainstorming, storyboarding, and there has even been word of a guitar being spotted around the Lab. We used so many pastel-colored post its that it felt like an early, slightly too cold easter, and we haven’t used this many markers since kindergarten. We had workshops about concept creation, and we read books on brainstorming games. Our minds are becoming more limber every day, and we’re really starting to get the hang of things. We have been focusing on keeping the user central to our project, and want to reach the train traveler in an interactive way. We’re proud of our three ideas, and we’re convinced that these projects have the potential to be interesting and inspiring. We can’t wait to start prototyping one of our concepts. How cool is it, to see one of your ideas actually going in to action?
Right now the last details of our concept document are being finished, which will exhibit our three favorite concepts. We’re curious of what you think, and would like to hear from every one. The document will follow soon, together with the research document, which we still owe you.
Since it’s autumn break for most students now, it leaves the studio a bit more quiet than usual, which is nice for a change. Some of us have exams for other courses as well, so there’s a different group of students everyday. A small group of MediaLAB students comes in every day, and has even been stranded with pre-packed supermarket cake and coffee on a cloudy morning.
Alright, time to call it a day! Talk to you soon.
