 Notes - Designing a user experience - Defining the problem - Defining the solution - User centred design - Interactive design- How to use previous design to solve a new problem, To be able to finish Establishing requirements Designing alternatives Prototyping Evaluation - Create an experience map - Talk about things- Vocabulary 

Notes  - Have a similar style to the original room but tweak it to look nicer - Branding sheet - Coat-hangers for sketches - Lighting is crucial- Can be a distraction, Fine line between enough and too much - Timeline of briefs 1-3rd year - Teleportation or free walking Pintrest board As a group we wanted to create a moodboard of styles together to ensure we are all on the same page, as well as making sure we are all seeing the same stuff.  Here are some screenshots of the kind of things that we were looking at.  My initial sketches As an aid for visualisation of this project, I decided to do some sketches.

 Weekly schedules made by Sophie Knight I am in charge of brand consistency, so keeping the same stylings, colours, etc. 2D visual designs 3D character designs  Textures Ideas in design environment together. Decisions to make together: -Static or moving catwalk models, Jo said that it would be better to have static since the students will be moving. Also have to see if Aframe can have animations  -Lighting- colour tone? -Stylings- what theme, modern, industrial, etc. -Original room as the actual fashion room at New Adelphi, then have rooms attached. -Height of catwalk -Hangers to show work flat as well as models for 3D What we need for next week -Have reference images- on Pinterest board -Block out ideas -Sketched out ideas -Floor plan- done by Jo -Make a mind map Ideas -Multiple rooms- Uni work space- Sketch room- Designing room- Catwalk. This would show each section of the course. -Modern styles -No chipboard -Light, airy -Industrial -Playing with lights -Welcome sign- ...

 After the lecture I had a in-formal meeting with Glenn about this project. I took a few notes for it as I thought that some bits were important to keep a record of.  -  We will be given a branding book - My role is to ensure there is visual consistency - In-charge of branding - To ensure there is a brand consistency, be this the branding of the university or the stylistic choices we decide upon. - Research into 3D clothing

 Notes - Professionals each work in different areas of design. Design principles - Assessable  Disabilities Older people  etc - Usability Effectiveness  Safety Efficiency Utility Learnability - Visibility Contrast Colour blind people - Feedback Noise when clicking Sending information to the user - Constraints Restricting the possible options Not open sourced - Consistency Logic Transfered Aka- Adobe is transferable from programme to programme - Affordances How a product is designed, which shows a clear use Aka- door or a chair - Gross cultural Differenced, UK Vs US People/Appearance - Emotions Desirable effects Undesirable We were then sent off to find an item around us and make this list about it. I chose my light stick and app. 

 Here is my initial ideas for how I could contribute to the project, as well as some initial style ideas: - Fashion: Have a fashion show type thing, run way etc, I could make a model that walks down a runway. - I could make a tutor that welcomes the visitors, could be 3D, Make the 3D model, draw the skins, make a script etc. - History- make a soldier/historical figure that greets the visitor. Here is a mind map that Sophie Knight about our ideas based off of everything that we spoke about within the meeting.

Within this team meeting we spoke about initial ideas for which course that we were happy to work with. We looked at the list that we were given in our first meeting to see which courses we could choose between. We were all okay with any, however were happiest with Fashion or History. We also looked at what roles we each would be happy to do. Jo wanted to work on UX/UI and the 3D design. Sophie Knight UX/UI and aiding the 3D design. I wanted to do 2D and 3D character, Illustration, UX. Emily wanted to do Video and Sound editor. Glenn wanted to do 3D design and XR designer.  I am happy with each of these roles and believe that we have a good variation of what we each can do, as well as what we can collaborate upon.

Notes  - Concepts - Technical - Software application - What is happening- VR, Web development - Creating - Groups of between 3-5 people - We have to choose a course to promote My confusion Overall, I am very confused by this project because we are so close to the end of the course why are we 'exploring' a new type of project, surely we should be focusing on our spechialism.
