Today in the Morning meeting, matt said something of interest. I can't remember exactly, but it was something along the lines of "so often people come up with an idea, and then jump to an obvious way to do it, such as an app". And it occurred to me that really, my idea wasn't an app that allows people who own walls to post that they would like to see street art, it was "find a way to connect owners of walls and artists". And there are lots of different ways to do that.

I started exploring different possibilities. I came up with the idea to give people a sticker to stick on the wall they want painted. 

I also analysed my survey and discover that people who do graphite illegally and people who do it legally have very different opinions. I came to the conclusion that allowing people to be commissioned by strangers who own walls is the only option that both people who do graffiti illegally and legally will like.

I was so busy in this project with moving back to Falmouth that I forgot about the blog. During that time, I designed a logo and experimented with spray painting it but found it liked the digital version better I created 6 touchpoints and designed the interface for my app.  I am very happy with everything I created. I feel all the different elements look as though they belong together despite the fact they are tailored to suit different audiences.  I was really worried at the start of this module that I would struggle. I have not got on well with the modules that offer more freedom before as I prefer structure, but this term I have learnt to embrace creative freedom and set my own boundaries.

 Today I had my first learning team with Ian, who is my stand in for Dion. We decided that the connecting street arts and owners plan was the best, but he encouraged me to explore alternatives to the app.  I spent the day doing this, but eventually came to the conclusion that the app would work best, and that the other ways of contacting graffiti artists, such as leaving stickers of spray paint cans or painted bricks by commonly tagged walls would not reach people who like graffiti but don't do it because it is illegal. I will still use them as part of my marketing campaign.

Today I created a survay to collect first-hand research on people's views of street art. I wanted to find out how willing people would be to take part in each of my ideas, as well as some of their general attitudes to street art. I sent it to everyone I know. I will close the survey and analyse the results Monday. They will help me chose which of my ideas is best.
