Finally, the entire group managed to get together and discuss ideas. Film and Media students had been busy with other assignments and felt that they could only return to work on unit X recently. As discussed in my previous post, this has caused some difficulty and in our latest meeting it has felt as though now we are being forced to shoe-horn in the thoughts and opinions of people that have had little or no involvement through the design and idea generation process that is so important to all design/practical work.
Regardless, we have all drawn on elements of each other's work in order to mix and blend ideas from individuals in order to create a collaborative final piece. This in itself presented some difficulties and it was impossible to please absolutely everyone.
I am planning on drawing up our ideas in order to present them visually. Me and Chris are designing a yarn bombing piece with a twist. We are planning on knitting a large piece that will be wrapped around scaffolding and unravelled. This will then be used to create the letters that I have been making from thread and will also be hung around the scaffolding.
In addition to this, Shannon (TIP student) and Tasha (F&M student) have decided on creating a quote that describes our group work ethic and hang this in an abandoned window in the Northern Quarter, fulfilling the brief to "dress the city".
We have also decided to stick to a muted colour palette of whites and greys that can then be accented and contrasted with the very bright colours that others in the group have been using, such as bright orange, hot pink and lime green.
