Over this past week we began to focus in on trying to layout tasks and a flow to the Daydream Believers side. We've kept the tasks as open as possible for ease of altering and trying to come up with ways to make it a little more informal for the students that would take on "Creating Scotland's Obscurities", a lead in to making and trying to generate their own creations for Scotland's main and local landmarks! This could be adopted in many lessons or disciplines if interpreted differently so their could be outcomes within creative writing, art and design or even geography and modern studies, keeping it open! With it being based around a younger demographic, it would be nice for them to reflect on what makes their Scotland, trying to filter that wee glimmer into the merchandise they choose to create.
Coming up with the tasks, we're trying to think of best ways to lead in and exit into the next stages, whether that be through a video or a sort of "homework-ish" task to have an idea as to what they might expect from the next part!
Through starting this it's been nice to reflect on our own creations and developments, to see where we started and how the idea as a whole have came to be.
As well as starting this, we've been in further contact with suppliers and wholesalers to see how we may be able to reduce to the costings of the Ootcuts product and packaging, and are eager to hear how this may change the design or solidify our choices.
With our final idea coming to the forefront, it still has been beneficial to test out some of our concepts, even though the pricing may be significantly higher, it's nice to try these out to be happy with what we've been creating!
