Week 10 - Post Concept Round-Table Discussion Feedback (Mid Semester Break)

This week we had no tutorial due to it being mid-semester break, however, we did receive our feedback from Marianella regarding the Round table discussion in week 9.

Below is an image showing her feedback sheet;


Marianella discusses how our concepts Object is unclear at this stage, how our Scenarior needs narrowing down is feedback we expected. The points Marianella raised regarding;

"What are the messages that people need to convey in the context of 'coming back home'?" 
"What gestures convey those messages? Are those appropriate to the chosen user group?"

Are very valid points, although we briefly touched on them in our descussion, we are struggling to fully understand our concept and its intentions/potential right now.

However, based on Marianellas feedback regarding the Week 9 discussion, I think its plain to see that the concept direction and intention is not working for us as a group, this is seconded by each group members thoughts towards the concept over the previous few weeks, but after receiving this from Marianella I think as a group, in order to produce a relevant and successful concept come Week 15, we need to make an executive decision to move on from this concept idea and think of a new one, and yes, for the third time this semster... but I dont see that as a major issue, I see it really as just exploring our options and not settling on something we're not comfortable with presenting and developing; which I understand to be a good trait amongst group work. 

Due to project demand and deadlines from other subjects unfortunately I wont be able to put as much time and effort into considering a new direction come our regrouping in Week 11. However I understand the other group members may be in a similar boat with other subject commitments.
