What is a Design Festival????

I have was initially pretty confused about the outcome of this project. So we are designing a potential design festival to be held in Manchester.  But it's not real. But we are pretending it is. We can do whatever we want! But we need to pitch it to the council. So it cant be too out there. And we are going to use our skills in making to create a concept. Wait. WHAT!?! 

We can either design the main concept for the festival. Or design an element of the festival such as a workshop, or piece of art. We could even design the space it takes place in. One of the groups last year designed a bridge to bridge the gap between Manchester city centre and Ancoats. We could design the branding. There's a lot to think about, and we could easily get over whelmed by the possibilities. The most important thing is to come up with an over arching concept that we can all work on using our varied skills to create different outcomes.

Then there's the question of what does a festival actually have to be. Does it need to be an actual event or something more sustainable.
