Over the weekend we realised we have less time than we first thought, although it did say on the main timetable, so we now have a week less. Not to worry though, we'll just have to pick up the pace and really focus on what we want to achieve. We discussed a real list of roles with Fiona and Mark and clarified out themes. I posted on Facebook suggesting we all bring in content for the inspiration wall from our individual and group research. This exercise worked really well and I was really pleased people brought a good selection of things in to contribute. It was nice to work on something as a whole group, although I understand this wouldn't be practical all the time. This should help us pin down our visual identity. I really like the mustard yellow against grey.
Yellow- found in urban environment, signs, road markings, stands out, grabs attention, found in nature too, sunshine, dandelion flower, honey
Grey- can be seen as dull, a lot in the city, grey sky, Manchester rain
Red Brick- Iconic of Manchester terrace houses
Brown Card- raw material, celebrate, simple, recycle
We decided on a definate logo as well and what specific yellow to use. I really pushed to use Claire's design as I think its important to use something one of the group had designed. It's really hard to make these desicions as a group as I still don't feel comfortable to put my ideas forward. It will get easier. The fact that we are all feeling the pressure doesn't help. We then decided we would use a single dandelion seed on everyone's work to represent one small idea or aspect of a bigger picture. This will really help to tie all of our work together.
