Week 6: Mock Marketplace and Prototype

 
This was our mock market place where we got feed back and made improvements on our ideas.

Possible stencil/pattern ideas for our glass frosting.

This was the prototype made with the Martha Stewart glass frosting paint. We were told the paint looked like a ripped off label that had left sticky residue. This is an issue that needs to be resolved.

Week 6: Mock Marketplace

At our mock-up stall we tested the idea of doing a D.I.Y experience as well as making a product (drink and glass). We used Martha Stewart glass frosting paint for the glasses, which takes about 15 minutes to dry, meaning the visitors will make their glass and then come back later to retrieve it with a drink. We also made bags to hold the glasses.


Feedback from our mock up stall:

Health and Safety team - stand to keep drink off ground, keep drink cold, how many jars ? paper cups for people who don't want to frost glass.

- 50 (?) jars, first in first serve. Paper cups for just the drink
- Drying station for glasses
- Maybe talk with a relaxation space group so they can sit down while their glass is drying
- Two different ideas? are they working together? how do you get them to work together ?
- Maybe prepare the glasses before hand
- Bold Instructions (we felt we were explaining our stall too much)
- Test with paint, make our own glass frost, sand paper, blackboard paint, etching (texture), stickers
- Ask people to save their glasses, 'pimp your old glasses'. Recycling
- thinner designs, vinyl to make cleaner edges
- If using paper cups, think about waste. Stay away from polystyrene
- Turns into a bag/pouch, easier to carry
- Height, how do you use height ? Place symbols up high
- The cup could become sticky if we are putting a drink in it
- Only have either drink or bag
- Good to keep customisation
- Vinyl stencils
- Sugar/Salt around edge - Mocktail
- Use a syrup instead of a drink you can make at home
- Use branding as stencil designs
- Advertise, put photos of designs around uni so people can vote (if we are pre-making the glasses)

Week 6 : Team Roles

After talking with our buddy group we have decided which events teams we will be liaising with.

Olivia - Documentation (team 7)
Skye - Finance (team 5)
Courtney - Social Media (team 11)
Jeremy - Branding and Marketing (team 12)
Allette - Technical Atmosphere (team 1)

Week 5: Reflecting

Critiquing glass etching idea.

After today class discusses we as a team looked back on your idea we have at the moment which is having a DIY workshop were people design there own glass etching and we package it up and they take it away.

I think this idea brings something new and different to the market place because a majority of the offering teams are creating experiences and interactions. I think what we create with the workshop and what the person takes away is the main point. Its not about the glass its self its about what else we can give.

Brain Storm of other idea.

DIY workshop
- Snow globes, New Zealand style, Massy ones. Similar to the glass but we could create little thing to go inside or go to op shops and other second hand places to find little figurings. We could use old jars, trying not to buy new things, keep environmentally aware. Make if for a friend we could package it up (christmas presents).
- Juice stall, creating awareness about the different properties of fruit and veggies and what they can do for you and making fresh juice on the spot with a juicer. Maybe create little recipes to take away.

Week 5: Reflecting

Critiquing our Glass etching idea

I feel as though the glass idea is a good idea with some potential, though I agree more with the idea of a making experience at the market along with something that people can take home.
The glass etching itself in specific is not the best idea possible, it doesn't really cater to all sorts and isn't something I would personally crave for my own possession.
It is an idea that can be worked with, and evolved further in terms of the way that we move forward thinking about the essential idea behind it all.
