3rd of February

During the workshop, Anda came up with multiple problems for me to solve. I decided to solve another one today. I looked at the problem "How can I make Street Art still seem "cool" even though it's legal". I came up with a variety of solutions and decided the best approach was to use a mixture of the best 2. These are "use spray-painted designs for all logos/imagery etc" and "claim it is a street art revolution". 

The spray-paint designs will stop it feeling too branded, corporate or official. It will make it feel like it has been designed by a street artist, for street artists (which it has!!). The revolution theme will tap into what is currently appealing to young people. Movements like extension rebellion have made demanding and creating change cool.

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.
