Final Journal
From week one untill now. This project helps me to open my mind a lot. First of all I don’t interesting in Interactive design at all. I always think that it is very hard to understand. But from every process I have done that proves that I was wrong. Interactive technology is a tool to involve something to represent another thing in the interesting way. Everyone can be a part of this journey.
I didn’t understand what interactive design was in the first time. After week by week, it was more clearly.
As a group project, we choose an idea about typography. Our challenge is how to bring type in to 3D world, make it more interesting, and how to make people realise how importance of type.
We started our challenge by creating a Video. We showed the images of type in everywhere, on everything. At the end of video, questions came up. We were sure this video was a clear message to audience. But in the fast, we were wrong. People didn’t get a real message that we want to send to them. They mentioned how good the video was. No one really answered to our question.
We haven’t given up our video idea. We still did a second round. This time we made a statement and questions more clearly. But there is no one response.
Two times we tried to get a feedback from public but it came up with not enough response. We thought this way might not get people involve much. We also found out that everyone has to have an account with youtube before they can make a comment.
So we turned to survey. But it was not a traditional way. We also though this time we will get more response. But we were wrong again.
So we did our last thing, which was a walking poster. I was wearing a poster walk from Federation Square to Bourke Street mall. I though it might be someone who came up to talk to us. But I thought wrong. (We thought wrong as well). No one care about type. They just read though and walk pass.
From many ways to collect the feedback from public and environment, it makes me understand one thing. People don’t care anything. But if there is an interesting stuff come out, they will get involve suddenly.
