W2S1: Class

We started off this class session by reviewing the homework with a buddy team which was doing the opposite topic.

The class then split into two groups based on which topic we were doing and completed a table together on the board which would help us come up with concepts quickly.
We made our own table using the exercise we had just done as a class as a template - but we inserted our own chosen subject, audience, themes, and style and then came up with tangibles that would be relevant to our ideas.
We then did an exercise where we were given 10 minutes to come up with 10 concepts. This was difficult as we had been given no warning so had to think up concepts and draw them on the fly.
We shared our '10 minute exercise' concepts with each other and picked our favourite five that we thought were the best/most successful to draw up at A4 size.
We had to then share our five concepts with the other groups sitting at our table and have them decide which of those five concepts we could improve, which we then were given time to do.
At the end of class, every pair had to present their best concepts to get some initial critique and see which of their ideas people liked best.

These exercises helped us as we generated more concepts and took our initial ideas further. We also got to see which of our ideas our class mates thought were better. We think that the direction we are going on is a good one but we need to think of new ways we can show what we want to say.
