2nd February

Today we had a group workshop. I worked with Anda, who I know a bit but aren't really friends with. I enjoyed it a lot. We were supposed to come up with an idea for our brief. As I already had an idea for my brief, I ended up solving a problem within it which was still very helpful. I solved the problem "Street artists remain anonymous, how will that work with your idea."

I decided that everyone should have a pseudonym, similar to to the traditional "tags" used by artists. This would be sprayed on their artwork using a set stencil, so all the artworks created as part of the app would look like they belonged together. I used the lettering I learnt with Tim the day before to do this. I was very pleased with my outcome. 

Even though I did the workshop in a slightly different way because I am a bit ahead, it was still really useful.

I think I am very happy with my brief, my idea and where it is going. I think I can start working on it. Today I came up with a plan of everything I need to do. I need to brand the app, advertise it and design what the interface would look like.  I am going to start over the weekend by coming up with some brand values and a target audience.

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.
