Participatory Design

Participatory Design — (Due Sept 30th)
post a brief plan that identifies how you will engage in participatory design within your Design Ignites Change project, who you will engage with and why;

In my design Ignites Change project i would like to have outside opinions to help design the menu of the food i will be serving.  So to think of some out side cooperation, i would like to use students at maryville college, and also younger students at Maryville high school. The majority of voices i would like to hear from though would be young family with children. I'm sure something like this would make an great impact on young families. I'm not looking for whats their favorite food, but more looking at what they would be a better choice for the young families and also voice of what the young adults think of having healthy food in a place that has the idea of having a treat.
If i am able to i would like to get to talk to someone in the concessions of the movie and see what they think of my idea and see how well they think the program will do in a place such as maryville. and if having healthy food at the movie theater might bring in more sales for the theater? last but not least i feel I'm going to have the voice of a farmer and what he/she thinks of the idea of having their fruits and vegetables in a place such as this. Maybe they think its great step up from the side of a grocery store or a step up from a road side stand.
I am hoping with all these voices and opinions that i will be able to come up with something that benefits all ages and families, and also hopefully even though taking sales away from the theater help the theater make more profit on the movie tickets alone. also giving local farmer to have another place to sale some fruits.

Buissness card, letterhead, and envenlope

Movement at the Movies letterhead, business card, and envelope. MY business cards i wanted to stand out a bit. they don't really show what the program is, but are for business purposes. ( some reason they are different colors...) for the letterhead, i love the back with the film strip globs also goes along with the business card. i have my logo in the bottom right corner and my apple in the top with the address, there fore you always have the address of where the main office is located. i gave the letterhead some decorative lines on the sides to give some oomph. then deciding the envelope was fun. I really don't like envelopes they are a waste of paper and difficult to open therefore i made it where the letter head can be just folded and become the envelope. Or for more important documents i did come up with a very simple envelope, for important documents.

Designed Backwards

Convertible brides made dress.... I chose this for designed backwards because it was designed because of a problem with brides maids not all agreeing on one type of dress, or they may alter the chosen dress in an inappropriate way. Therefore, this dress is convertible for all brides maids and even for other occasions. which solves one problem of taking for ever to find the one type of dress for every occasion now you have one that can go to all events. 

Movie logo Critique

Design Process

I started with the idea of needing a problem or project then you always need research then never hurts to sketch out a few ideas to get you creativity going. next which i think is the most important is the communication. It is always and great idea almost a necessity to have communication about the peice and where you think you going with your ideas. next i have create a few ideas/ rough designs. then again you need more communication with a critique you get communication and opinion about some of your ideas and maybe a little approval for your best design. last but most important is execute your final design.
