Week 1

Our first lesson was an introduction to Koha. We have chosen 'Save our Arts venue' as our topic and the Hannah Playhouse as our venue. For our takeaway item/promotional material, we thought making stickers would be a fun idea.

In class, we did the Simpsons exercise where we had to put ourselves in the position of a Simpsons character and try to attract them to come to a street BQQ. This helped us understand how the importance of attracting a target audience.

After researching our topic and venue, we decided to base our concepts on a live performance. We each made a few thumbnails that were meant to engage the viewer to attend some type of performance. During our planning process using the project plan handout, we narrowed down the type of live performance to a magic show. A magic show would be a fun approach to the brief as we can play around with illustration and characters. Our target audience are now children. After looking at stylistic precedents, we want our style to be based on vector illustration with a bright, fun and dream-like atmosphere that'll attract kids to go to the magic show.
