back to drawing board, what is concept?

We didn't realise that we needed a concept for the website itself, so we wasted one month doing nothing but hitting walls.

Stayed for about the whole noon period till evening.

It was impossible to find good books anymore and most were moved out from our section and many were on loan

Confirmed Art Direction and start to do mockups,

Sick

Yes, we got drenched the day before, so *sneeze* we're sick and resting. Thank you very much

We went out to do surveys.

Places included shopping centres where most youngsters would hang around.

Since its the holidays and everyone is out enjoying, we'd thought of ambushing them there.

Feedbacks on survey were good to go, doing AI research, feedbacks on moodboards

Typed out survey and did moodboards

Art Direction due on the 10th

Survey sent previous night, waiting and compiling statistics

How will we sell our school.
Stereotyping, outgoing people gives other people the feeling that one is creative, whereas stagnant people gives a very stale and dull feel.

If sch is able to portray a fun environment, it makes people feel that it is interesting. So it is a bad move for us to place future opportunities as a pulling point.

Case study on Temasek Poly
- tho the site they have is not interesting, there are many interesting things abound. Pictures lure the students instead of heavy texts, one is able to see what the sch does by looking instead of reading. They say seeing is believing.

- The site portrays a FRESH look due to the images

Survey questions for applicants

- Change others opinion of us, instead of just a poly that just focus to study, a poly which provides them with an enjoyable process.

Our mission

Given task
- Client wants to increase intake of students.

Objective
- To research on what makes the carrot, as in, the incentive we are going to show off to lure students via our site.
- Carrot(carrot that other sch gives) = Something they like to do (sell feelings)
- Think = What do u look for in a school.
- What do they like? Art or Design
- more intuitive - Interesting, intuitive, straightforward, the thing that drives a student to apply.
- Let them know what we have is what they want.

Flaws of the current site

- Bad information Architec
- Visual information, Image of school must be represented.
- Call to Action // this area must be refined (more intuitive - Interesting, intuitive, straightforward, the thing that drives a student to apply.)

Things to be changed

- Must be able to portray feel of ID + Animation + Games, Think identity cutlery, the spoon, fork and knife. Design of Carrot

Milestone
Prepare on the 2nd Tuesday Dec, for
