The design team went to the workshop. Lyle helped the group to develop a series of joints that were much more appropriate for the design. The group were advised to make a series of 1:1 mock-ups, so as to test their integrity as features, improve the final appearance by thinking of ways the fixings could become integral aethetically and give the team members practice on creating the pieces in preparation for the order of timber. We were recommended that we should fundraise quickly, as the group would need to start building in the first week, unlike the other groups, that were likely to be able to experiment more in the first week on perfecting the aesthetics.
Fundraising
The Open Mic Night and Leg Waxing posters were created by Katy and Sunita and they began distributing them amongst art and architecture students. In addition, buckets were taken around the building with the Leg Waxing Posters and more money was raised. We realised however that the buckets appropriateness was not high, as students were more willing to buy things than contribute loose change, we therefore decided to offer more options for students, such as pancakes and brownies, which would be offered in later days.
Documentation
Aoifes drawings were scanned onto the computers and will be distributed and used in a collection of sponsorship sheets, the blog and the facebook page.
Having decided on the name of the project, John was instructed to create a series of options for the logo. After finding a design deemed most appropriate, the design was refined and manipulated until the final design was completed.
This was then used on the documents created to distribute to sponsors, the letterheads which were also sent, and the logo was also to be pinned up around the building to build the brand and project awareness.
