Tama - Tikanga now
If you’re designing for a group - put your intent at the beginning - their voice is part of what you're going to do - it will show through easier

SuperCrit!
- Discussion with Caroline -
Good start - good explanation
Poster/style/carnival/retro style is really appealing
Handwritten type sounds good
How big?
Start to design box/packaging now - how does it piece together
Why wood? What king of wood? pine is light, balsa is also good
Go to 3D workshop
Memorabila boxes
Tactile quality is important
All the components - how many, and how do they fit together?
Would you get this in first year?
Would the aesthetic appeal to younger people
Aesthetic - 50′s milkbar - explain why you chose that style
Would it appeal to men?
Hand illustration - 19th century - can mix up styles
Pastiche combination
Skills to show at exposure - practical content - design
Early 20th/19th century almanacs - taking people into a retro space
“Knowledge to practice” - How do I know that? - Prompts - Subjectives, how exactly and what is that content?
Definitely test content with people - Do in pyramid or something - Low risk - no ethics - have to do ethics but it’s the easy one - Mock up box in cardboard - See how they interact with it - What, how do I use it? what do they get from it? - Qualitative survey, info : age, year, degree -- Questions like ; -- “Describe how you found this” -- “Would it help you?” -- “Return to multiple times” -- “Would you continue to use it?” -- “Would you recommend it to anybody?” -- “Is the content readable/ in a good order?
@ Exposure - could be like a little carnival installation thing
Make it FUN, lightening it up - style does that- can play off it
