Understand / Ideate / Critique

Class started off with a koha (gift given away freely, reciprocity and exchange) which led to us learning about the topic. Assignment is to make a trans-media response (poster, flyer and website) in response to an event (beach clean up or neighbours day).

Afterwards, we had a class exercise where we took Simpsons characters and tried understanding their viewpoint on the two events and how we would sell them the idea. Worked in groups to decipher the characters and drew thumbnails of poster designs to see what could or couldn't work. Pinned them up and got feedback, which was pretty good. Allowed us to get a general idea of what we could do, as most concepts were rushed, was good to see as it allowed us to see what everyone else thought about the topic.
