Presentation
We only showed a video for our presentation instead of the full power point presentation we had prepared, as we were told by Nikki not to use the power point. This made the context for the video unclear. It also made it awkward when each person tried to describe their individual contributions without visual aids to refer to, as we had not prepared what we would say about each part of the project. Overall, the presentation did not go well due to last minute changes and a lack of preparation for an alternate format.
Assets
The document discusses assets created for a group project. It summarizes drawings by Pawel showing people from different perspectives, and suggests showing the shoe shiner's face for focus. It notes Pawel was asked to draw the same characters in the future. It also discusses a logo created by Cameron that was recolored by the author to match the group's color scheme. Finally, it critiques a casebook by Nikki that contained spelling and factual errors.
Poster production
Sophie Knight and the author decided to each create two posters advertising their city. The posters were to have a cartoony style depicting the cityscape rather than people. The author began by learning to draw realistic clouds digitally. They then warped buildings and text to curve upwards in line with the caricatured style. In the final poster, the author was pleased with the curved buildings but felt the smaller bottom text and logo could be improved.
Initial ideas and research
The group's initial idea was to focus on promoting social issues like sexism and racism in a future utopian city, showing differences between past and present.
Their final idea was to create a promotional video and posters. The video would parody an infomercial, showing discrimination faced by characters in the past that does not exist in their futopian city, which promotes equality.
The group discussed roles. Nikki would write the script and casebook. Pawel would draw characters and a cityscape. Others would storyboard, film, edit, and make posters. Some roles changed during production.
The group discussed naming the city, settling on "Futopia" to represent the future utopian vision.
The brief
The document provides guidance for a group project to create a physical and digital response to a hypothetical city. It outlines that the project is pass/fail and should study the city to create an experience of it without physical presence. Students are told to think about what defines a city and how to represent it through various senses and inspired by different artists. The final result should be creative, interactive, and include a mix of physical and digital work. Students must define an audience and purpose for their project and present an exhibition of it to other groups with a reflective report due beforehand.
Team work
The document outlines key points for effective team collaboration. It discusses dividing work based on skills, focusing on quick conflict resolution through communication and listening, appointing an objective leader to resolve issues and ensure fair work distribution. Cooperation by being willing to take on necessary tasks is important. General consensus, communication, and establishing agreements through contracting help reduce conflicts and come to decisions. Getting to know each other's working styles makes the team stronger. Everyone must be responsible for the project to succeed.

Premier pro
Adobe Premiere Pro is a video editing software used by both amateurs and professionals to edit videos, commercials, and films by importing video, audio, and graphic files. It allows users to trim imported footage on the timeline by dragging clips from the footage box to the timeline and using the razor tool to cut footage at marked points.
Sound
The sound editor is responsible for all audio elements in a movie. They select and balance hundreds of audio sources to create effects that establish mood and realism. The job involves cleaning up dialogue recordings and adding background sounds, sound effects, and Foley effects. Background effects create ambiance, hard effects produce loud impact sounds, and Foley artists specially recreate sounds to sync with on-screen actions. The sound editor crafts an aural landscape that enhances the movie experience.
Green screen
Green screens allow subjects to be superimposed on virtual backgrounds through a process called keying, where a single color like green is isolated and made transparent so another image can show through. Green is commonly used because people are unlikely to wear green clothing. To use a green screen, one needs a green screen, smooth lighting from different angles to avoid shadows, and no creases in the screen. Footage is imported and a chromakey filter applied to offer adjustment options for isolating the green from the subject.
3d printing
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process where 3D objects are created by laying down successive layers of material from a digital file. Each ultra-thin layer represents a cross-section of the eventual object. In contrast to subtractive manufacturing, 3D printing enables complex shapes to be produced using less material. It has applications across industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, and more. For projects, 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping and manufacturing of parts.
Psychigeography
Psychogeography is the analysis of how a place makes you feel emotionally based not just on sight but also other senses. It involves carefully observing the layout, signs, shops, people and other environmental factors of an area. One way to study psychogeography is to explore places without maps or phones and record impressions through writing, photos or drawings. This technique can provide useful insights into user experience design by revealing how spatial layout and sensory elements create memorable experiences and shape perceptions of different locations.
Arduino
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that uses easy-to-use hardware and software. It can use either a microprocessor, like those in phones, which can sequentially perform different tasks, or a microcontroller, like the "brain of a robot", which focuses on a single function. Arduino is simple but can enable more complex creations by allowing users to modify its code. For a school project, the document's author plans to use Arduino to create examples of different types of user experiences for an exhibition, and to build working prototypes.
Rapid prototyping
The group was tasked with redesigning a light switch and found the existing switch had too many buttons, overcomplicating its intended purpose. They proposed a simpler, more user-friendly design using a touchscreen panel on the wall without buttons that could be operated by tapping to turn lights on at different brightness levels, and a settings page could be accessed to program automatic light schedules or enable eco mode functions.

This document provides a summary of the history of Manchester, England including:
- Manchester began expanding in the 19th century due to the textile industry during the Industrial Revolution. In the 20th century, the city rebranded as a post-industrial city with sports, broadcasting, and education.
- Important events in Manchester's history include the first newspaper and theater, development of the railway, and bombings in the 20th century.
- The document also reviews two existing advertising posters for the Manchester Science Museum that are part of the same campaign, noting similarities in color scheme, typography, and layout between the posters.
Research
The document provides research on the target audience for a new app. It analyzes the audience as being ages 18-25, with most being current or recent students. A survey of 20 people found that 60% were students. The target location is Manchester, specifically the central area accessible to students. Interviewing a 18-year-old student provided insights into common study locations and needs like WiFi and outlets. Existing transportation app Citymapper is examined as an example for its wide target age range and ease of use.
Egg drop
Sophie created an egg tower and an egg drop container to protect eggs from breaking. For the tower, she used origami, poles, and tape to construct a 31cm tall tower that kept the egg intact when tested but fell over easily. For the egg drop, she placed foam and an egg inside a cup, attached a plastic parachute decorated with a drawing, and dropped it from height. The egg was undamaged on impact but the drop lacked accuracy. Next time, Sophie would modify the design to improve accuracy of landing.
Trilogies
The document discusses several film franchises including The Purge, Step Up, and The Dark Knight trilogies. For each franchise, it provides a brief summary of each film in the trilogy, noting common plot elements and similarities across the films. It also analyzes target audiences and imagery for each series. The franchises became popular and multiple films were produced due to concepts like The Purge that were new to the horror genre and the large fanbases for properties like Batman that originated from comic books.
Evaluation
Sophie Husteden created 3 posters for a pumpkin patch event - a cat poster, pumpkin patch poster, and apple balloon poster. She managed the project well by creating a schedule and layout plans. While communications could have been improved, she met the client's requirements by making A4 posters with autumn colors featuring pumpkins, apples, and event information. Sophie learned skills like professional layout, realistic shading, coordinated color schemes, and client communication that will help with future projects. The client felt communications could be better but was pleased with the final posters.
