Week Twelve Reflections on the process of creating our market

A critical reflection on your team's creative and professional practice throughout the project.  Ruth: I feel that we did quite well given that this was our first time creating an exhibit like this. We worked effectively as a team, especially given none of us knew each other before this project. We were professional and kind to each other especially when it came different ideas and opinions which is where conflict usually arrises. However we were rather unorganised to begin with when it came to issues like health and safety and all the formal requirements that we weren't familiar with, I felt we excelled when it came to the creative practice side. We were steady with our idea generation and we were consistently changing and creating new and better market stall ideas and iterations throughout the lead up to our final market. Stephanie: Throughout this project we came up with many ideas of what we could do for this topic the main ones were filling balloons with paint whi...

Week of reviews from Market of Abandoned materials Individual Reflections: Ruth Johnson: I really enjoyed the experience of this market, and I personally believe this was the best of all three markets. All of the stalls were really well laid out in a way that created an emotional experience that didn't feel forced, but was actually enjoyable. There was a good mix of interactive stalls and visual stalls, and they were staggered so that the flow of the market felt natural and well planned. From the reading ' Experimental Marketing' By Bernd Schmitt it was clear that they'd thought and planned well by including multiple aspects for SEMS (strategic experimental modules) Sense/act/think/feel/relate were all incorporated into their market and I think this is how their market's atmosphere felt so balanced and successful. By focusing their theme broadly on our childhood, everyone felt included in some way. My personal favourite stall was the return to sender stal...

Week of reviews from our market: Immaterial Labours Evaluate both successes (how are these measured/evidenced?) and opportunities for improvement. You may want to include visuals/sketches of things you might have changed or done differently. Individual Reflections: Ruth Johnson: Stephanie Howard: Here are some photos of us setting up our market the day before: This week was our market. We spent the night before setting everything up and making the signage and cranes to make the aesthetics of the stall look good and covered in our chosen colour to section us from the other stalls. I feel as though we came a long way from out practice market and we went into this market with a better idea of what the space was to look like. For our final piece we chose to put the cranes on one big of fabric streaming down. This made it easier for the participants as they weren't having to bend over us to put their cranes on the string above. Through getting people to...
