Going to shops in the havenstraat passage

Femke Zwart, Uncategorized

For this project we need a store for providing us a location and possibly for electricity. When we went into the city we tried 4 different shops. One of the shops did not fit our concept.

The first 2 shops we tried were already taken by other students.

We tried top mobile as last resort if Koelink was already taken. However we went to koelink and told them about our concept, the woman who helped us really thought the concept fitted their store.

We set up an email for the store so everyone at the store could agree and know about.

2 guest lectures

Guest lecture 1:

This lecture was done by Edwin Dertien, he is a very creative weirdo. He has made several robots and done projects with furies.

This lecture was mainly about what experience you are creating for the user. It was mostly focused on the look and feel rather than the technology.

The lecturer told us also to mainly focus on the user experience rather than the technology behind it all. Which is not the focus of our project.

The lecture showed some interesting installations but did not help us any further in the process of our own besides, looking at another side of our experience.

Guest lecture 2:

This lecture was about what data you collect while the user use the installation, this is important so you can collect data without the user really knowing it is being collected.

Choosing from 14 historical moments

Femke Zwart, Uncategorized

For our story we wanted to use a few historical events that happend in Enschede.

We came to the point that we had 14 different points in history that could possibly be used.

In the end we chose 5 that we liked most:

  • Van heekplein 1972
  • Kerk (1200, 1482, 1852)
  • Bombardement (1943-1944)
  • Bolwerk + groslch (1904, 1615)
  • Standsbrand (1517)

We still need to develop the ideas for the locations as on each location something else will happen.

Demo sprint 1

DEMO sprint 1

We started the week on Tuesday. Demo sprint 1 was marked in our agenda, we needed to show our work in the first two weeks. Magrit and Yvens came to us for our presentation and listened carefully.

We had a short but logical presentation, it could have included more detailed information. Magrit and Yvens where giving good feedback, feedback what we could use for our own benefit, but also some feedback was a bit harsh, because we thought this was only two weeks of work. The feedback was based on the assessment form which helped us realise what needs to be done.

Some feedback points were that our character needed more connection to our target audience. We needed a more cohesive product and they were not sure about our target audience.

Another feedback points is that we not to work out the concept more in detail.

Design document

For the design document we firstly had a briefing from Harry, what he expected from us and what would be discussed in his lessons, The lesson started with the information on the first 7 points of the document.

We needed to make a:

The first 7 needed to be completed at first. After we had the second lecture, we needed to complete the others too.

Currently we finished all items from the list above, we handed it in to Harry and Rene. We will receive feedback on this document the week after. We will keep editing this document through out the project as things will change and get updated.

Jury visit

The jury visited Saxion and we got a chance to show us our One pager. Whilist mostly positive, they gave us a few points of feedback:

  • What is the story you want to tell
  • Does it ‘fit’ your Target group
  • How will you reach your Target group

We will discuss as a team on how to tackle these problems and we will resolve these for our next meeting

One Pager

Uncategorized

We will have a meeting with Promotie Enschede so we had to create a One-pager. In this One-pager our visual identity will be clear towards our client and also the concept we are trying to convey

We will process the feedback that we will get upcoming meeting with the team of promotie Enschede an iterate our design

Store location

Femke Zwart, Uncategorized

Today we walked into the city with part of the team. We walked through the street that was allocated to us.

We have discussed this during the week in the meetings we had together. As we were discussing our concept we were mostly focussed on how and what story to tell. we slightly forgot that we have to pick a store.

We figured out that most stores do not have any connection to our concept, which makes it harder for us to find the right store to place their installation in front of.

We figured that the only store which makes sense to use with our concept is T-mobile, as the users will be using their phones throughout the scavenger hunt. We also are going to Koelink aswell
