Working on initial ideas and allocation of tasks

Prior to the second meeting on Tuesday 13th, members gathered evidence, data, and sketches for the initial designs. As everyone reunited for the second session of the critical discussion, many expressed concern and doubt over initial ideas from the previous meeting. Fortunately, having received wonderful input from an unknown, yet remarkably knowledgeable tutor, the group discovered what appeared absent in their puzzled heads. The relation of two initial ideas. 'Hidden treasure hunt around Nottingham' and 'How to guide to get out of creative practitioners lifestyle', emphasised on somewhat intimate communication between the receiving target and the task already entrenched in the contents of its yet undecided form. To produce something more valuable in sentiment than a depth less commercial gimmick was not a rarity in practice but somehow overlooked by many. And although the seriousness of this project was made quite clearly, the group decided to fall upon what people would be motivated to purchase and retain from the design, than being asked to be motivated and retained.

As a result of the endless but fruitful debates, the birth of the idea of a simple yet personal organiser, the calendar, was settled upon. However, instead of serving its purpose of tracking dates and existing only to be flatly displayed as an organiser, group 1 members were inclined to incorporate interaction of sentimental communication for the consumer. For this to work the calendar would have to have a function that will allow the target market to fully engage in something that can affect them wholly.

The idea was a hybrid of the 'How to...' guide and a personal 'Nottingham treasure hunt'.
