Week 2 - Day 1

The weekend did bring respite for some but not for all, and under loud yawning the process continued and was elevated to greater hights. We got up early to prepare for the presentation and print out some pictures to help visualise our concepts to our tutors and peers. It was also a chance for a good breakfast. I know the cooks from the designschool must love us because they know how to put food in our bellies like only our moms could.

The concepts that were presented by all the the different groups were interesting, fun and inpiring in many ways. Questions and comments were helpful and pointed many people to interesting ways and directions to look and experience. As a group we presented our concepts one by one and helped each other out where nescesarry, which worked quite well. The feedback focussed mainly on ways to eliminate pollution through technical means, but the tutors wanted to see us go even further into a science fiction world where everything could be possible.

After this pleasant morning round of presentations some wonderful food was set out for us, which was immensely enjoyed. With full bellies we jumped into User Journey's. Toke gave an insightful presentation on this methodology and we started creating some great journey's through our future vision. I guess we like crafting and building on the feedback to go deeper into our vision we each created seperate scenario's to work out what was in our head and then communicated this amongst each other to help build out the journeys even further.

At around five we decided to call it a day, since there was a film planned for us at the local movie theatre. Children of Men posed an epic doomsday scenario for us to be inspired by and it may have influenced our visualisation of the user journeys even further.

More fantastic food awaited us at the school for a late dinner with wine, beer and great conversation. A day to remember :)
