Today we had a workshop with Jack Hardiker. I initially wasn't convinced that this would be a good use of my time, but once I got started I really enjoyed it, so I am glad I took part.

My group decided to create an audio file of the Gruffalo with gaps where the adjectives would go. We will then create cards with lots of different adjectives on. Children can listen to the story and add in their own adjectives to create a custom, silly version. 

This is so different to the sort of thing I would normally create, and barely even graphic design. It was nice to have so much freedom too. Plus as this was only a short project that won't be a huge part of our grade, there was no pressure, so we weren't thinking "let's come up with something good and impressive that Matt will like" we were thinking "lets come up with something new and mad", which is much more fun.

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.
