WHAT IF...?

Alriiiight, so, another group project, this time working with Emma, Gareth and Mille. The point of this project is to teach us to work more with our research, and let process drive the outcome, rather than have an outcome in mind. That was we only end up doing things that we've done before. Doing a project and not knowing what the final outcome will be is a little bit wierd, though I guess it worked out okay.

At first we were dealing with texture and personality, though it was a difficult concept, and so we went on to deal with the problem that people aren't getting their five-a-day because they don't like the texture of certain fruits. We did a survey amongst the class to confirm this.

This is a series of macro shots looking at the texture of both the skin and the flesh of certain fruit. It looks all interesting, and nice. Our solution turned out to be a way to make people realise that there are alternatives to fresh fruit that still contribute to their five-a-day, and we took it upon ourselves to make people aware of this. This came in the form of a fruit stall, offering alternatives to fresh fruit such as dried fruit and fruit juice. The pictures below recorded the experience.

This proved to be pretty successful, and the fruit went kinda fast. I mean, what right-minded student would say no to free food? Not I. Anyway, we had a survey to fill out again asking people if they found anything new they liked and if it would contribute to their five a day, and 'yes's outweighed the 'no's by a mile. I would call that a success,

This is all out research and recordings pinned to the wall for the crit this afternoon. I'd say we got a fair bit of work done. A lot more than we did for the last group project that's for sure.

I feel I'm already evolving as a designer.
