Project Three Provisional Teams and Tasks

Hi Class:

Good work zeroing in on a concept today. There are lots of unanswered questions about our button making concept, but there's also lots of room for growth.

You have volunteered to be part of (or have been assigned to) a provisional team.

Documentation: Kaitlynd, Olivia, Andrea C., Jeannie
Promotion: Kyla, Anna, Anthea, Nicole, Dennis
The Button Making: Annika, Lesley, Katie, Garrett, Christian
The Narrative Game: Claudia, Stephanie, Wendy, Komal
Temporal Logistics: Karan, Andrea R., Gretchen, Margarita

In your teams, your tasks for this week are as follows.

1) Develop a fully specified variant on the button making concept. Be prepared to present this variant to the class next week, both as a storyboard and through role-playing. Your storyboards and role-plays should be more polished than they were during the individual ideation stage of the Project. Post your new storyboard to the blog, bring a hard copy to class next week, and come to class prepared to role-play your variant. Bring any props you may need for the role-playing, including any necessary A/V equipment.

Contemplate the project in terms of the five phases of a compelling experience that we went over in class: Attraction, Entry, Engagement, Exit and Extension. You should be able to describe how you plan to deal with each of these phases in the context of your variant.



2) Develop a detailed strategy for how to tackle your team's prescribed issue:

Documentation: a proposal for the document (presumably multi-media) you will all take away as a prospective portfolio piece at the end of the Project;
Promotion: a proposal for how to promote the project before, during and after the Activate event, without posters;
The Button Making: a proposal for how to construct the buttons required for the experience;
The Narrative Game: a proposal for how to employ narrative play as a strategy to enhance and add conceptual depth to the experience;
The Physical Space: a proposal for how to spatially sequence the project requirements during the weeks, days and hours leading up to, during and subsequent to the Activate event.

I look forward to developing this experience together. See you next week.
