Amy Stephens’ Weblog

The countdown has begun with only 10 days till final presentations! 

a light at the end of the tunnel (finally). I’m excited about the final presentations – being able to present all our hard work that has spanned the last 3 and a half months will be some sort of closure on what has been a tremendous ride of design research.

Will let you know how we go – most updates are now on the group blog (www.culurenetwork.wordpress.com) so best to head there for all development work and designr elated articles etc.

over and out.

We handed in our proposal for HDG400 yesterday (yay yay yay!) so now it would seem that the ‘research’ stage of our project is wrapping up and the next three weeks will be dedicated purely to designing and producing prototypes of our outcomes (yay yay yay!).

One of our outcomes is an identity for our project ‘culture hub’ as you can see from the developments on this and our groups blog pages that it is almost done – just getting some final input and feedback from the group and tony ward in tonights consultations.

Our other outcomes are a website design for the ‘culture hub’ online indigenous museum which is getting there and will be accompanied by a flash animation visualising how a user would navigate through the site.

There will also be a film reel documenting our ‘your voice:have your say’ event which is also being worked on at the moment and should be finished shortly. This will be accompanied by an explanetory booklet which will be constantina folded and presented with the dvd.

Finally, a printed education resource pack for students will be designed. This has not been started as yet but we will begin working on this in tonights practice class – it will include stickers, posters, a broad sheet and some other resourceful things that will direct students onto the online webiste.

yay for organising! kinda scared about the next 3 weeks tho

and back to the drawing board/brainstorming board got us to here:

On Monday the 5th the culture network group held an event called “Your Voice:Have Your Say”.

it was a one-on-one interview session with 20 participants held in the foyer of NID and it was a fantastic experience and opportunity for students to voice their opinions on their thoughts and feelings towards the importance of Indigenous culture and heritage and the eductation of non-indigenous citizens about the owners of this land we call home…check out our group page and go to the Your Voice: Have your say page for photos and further explanation of the event!
