wednesday 5/18

Today in class we discussed the logistics for creating our final posters and presentation: we tentatively established what we’d like to include on the poster, we divided up the tasks, and decided we’d like to build a miniature scale model of our dance floor to better clarify our concept for the user experience. We also need to decide what symbol or graphic we want to use to show that dancing charges the exhibit... a battery? a lightbulb? a lightning bolt? a smiley face?


We will all try to come up with whatever material we can by Friday to show each other and get feedback before we proceed further in that direction. As of Wednesday 5/18, our individual duties are:


H — make a digital rendering of the dance floor tile(s) and a basic diagram showing how they store energy, create a 3-D model... address durability logistics?


A — establish a list of the interactive possibilities of the tiles (games, sidewalk, etc.), design a website layout / homepage for additional information and for participants to view their pictures


M — answer essential questions that we will include on our poster: What about our sustainable dance floor relates to San Luis Obispo in particular? (something along the lines of: one reason SLO is the happiest city on earth is because people are physically active— dance and be happy!) What are we teaching / What are our learning goals?


‘D — take more hi-res images of the site for use in our posters, explore materials for / begin work on a physical scale model


In terms of poster display, we’re considering using a square format (approximately 30'' x 30''), depending on printing availability and costs for those dimensions.
