Week 9: Theme

After class today Jeremy, Courtney and I went to source fabric for the bag. We went to the op shops in town to find and recycle some bedding which only cost us $11 and we ended up with a duvet cover that has the pattern on both sides and a plain sheet. These two images are the colours and the design from the fabric. I replicated the colours and design as we were having trouble with our theme.  

CLASS CRIT

We have a logo that is brown but in class today the teachers say it reminded them of chocolate milk so using the colours from the fabric I made some possible designs.

Week 8: Logo

This is our logo so far.
I feel it isn't representing the right thing for our group. The design is great but the colours to me look like a bottle of chocolate milk.

So I played around with some other colours just to see if anything work or to spark different idea within the group but no one wanted to change the colours as the like the first logo.

Week 8: Themes

Trying to figure out a colour scheme.

Week 3: second round of brain storming

expanding on from the giant Monopoly Game, coming up with other board games and then seeing if they could become giant in a functional and fundable way. 

Best couple would probably be Guess Who because we characterise significant people in the world as the people from the game. from the tutors to famous people to TV show characters to what ever else we want. 

 The size could be upscaled from the normal game but downscaled from this version in the photo to fit into the suitcase. or even open up from within the suit case.

another game that can be upscaled well could be battleships. and have the same concept as above with opening the suitcase and playing the game from within.

could have removable boards that sit on top of the suitcase (but still closable) and have all the pieces needed for the game under the boards for storage. 

ideas for selling something, or something for the audience to take alway from the market because there weren't enough ideas or concepts as a class so re-exploring that. 

*add dream catchers/make your own dream catchers

by beer can truck/bike/whatever.

the kind of things you find at gypsy fairs and whatnot. 

Random pot-plants as in not knowing what the plant is when you get it and letting it grow and then finding out what you have got. Something to look after for a while or re-gift on to someone else.

Food is kinda explanatory and have food there to decorate like cup-cakes/donuts/lollies on a stick kinda deal and have people decorate there own YUM food to eat.

Cardboard city: 

Using recycled cardboard could be a really interesting resource to work with also something we could get of free or at a very low cost.

Week 2: Brainstorming suitcase

After the first class of this paper I started thinking about suitcases and what they mean. I love old suitcase and I collect old vintage ones that are in good condition so I was excited to here that we have to fit our stall into one.
Also my whole life I have been brought up around art, craft and second markets. I have great knowledge of how they work, my mother and I used to go to the markets every week to sell assorted treasures that we didn't want anymore.

Here is a definition I found on the internet of a suitcase:

Suitcase

A case with a handle and a hinged lid, used for 

carrying clothes and other personal possessions.

"three huge suitcases and a plethora of hand baggage”

synonyms:

travelling bag, travel bag, case, grip, valise, overnight case,
portmanteau, vanity case, holdall; briefcase, attaché case,
Gladstone bag; trunk, chest; luggage, baggage

"he carried a small battered suitcase"

Images I sourced through google that I felt relate to this paper and link into the market place somehow.
