Last class

For the benefit of those who were not in class on Monday heres what happened:

- We got a lecture on why clients need designers and who are clients.
- We got shown a video of Newsnight in which they had a debate about climate change. It can be found on BBC iplayer. We were told to note the passion in which they were arguing their points.

-We were told we need to show evidence of a solid ideas as to what we will be doing in week 5.

Annabel spoke to us and old us to consider:
- Whats in it for me? ( the point of view of the person we're trying to convince
- Consider what would make you change your mind and start acting
- Consider a positive message rather than a negative one

A sugeestion was then made to interview people on the street to find out what would make them change their habits towards climate change.

In the group meeting we discussed various peoples ideas:
Tom's idea - Time quickly elasping room experience.
Martin's idea - Noah ark for the rich, not everyone can get on
Marcela's idea - Memorial statue in Hyde Park with names of victims of climate change
Lynda's idea- Making trees look sad with an advert for stop the earth abuse.
It was agreed that all members would post illustrations etc on the blog to further demonstrate their idea.

The idea from last week where someone is shown as ignorant to climate change as it is happening around them in a household scenario should also be looked at again and the idea of ignorance played with.

Other ideas suggested to be played with were that of the consumer market and domestic personal lifestyle.

The group decided to meet next week at 2pm despite there being no class due to reading week in order to discuss new ideas and choose one solid idea. The group also decided to meet on Tuesday at 2pm in order to interview people. Arthur is reponsible for bring a camera to record.

Thats basically it. If I left out anything or got anything wrong please feel free to say so :)

Cheers
Lynda
