Development on 3 concepts

Client, Tutor & mentor feedback

The first idea (interactive book) isn’t too creative so I feel I could push myself and the client to steer away from the basics. However the client liked the idea that it directed people to sources and the charities could get involved as well. The mentor suggested a monthly workbook so each type of art could be worked though creatively and the whole book be finished in 15 mins or spread out over a week then a new one next month.

The next idea (art as medicine) was liked but the mentor thought there was no where to go with it. I could do other symbols and the client wanted it changed to arts as a plural to all the arts including music, drama etc. Yes it is sustainable by selling the pins and having social media campaign but how could I challenge myself being in 3rd year for my portfolio?

Lastly, the 3rd idea had tones on potential as a concept and just needed a backbone to where and how the idea can be utilised to its full potential. I mentioned the how this couldn’t be too covid friendly as people will have to touch the board with their notes but the client wasn’t to worried about it. She suggested it going into the staff only rooms. The mentor stated not everyone likes to draw so how could I over come that? Also where are they going to find inspiration?

When talking this though with the tutor I decided that I will use the idea of sticky note arts and create a boards for the staff only room with a work booklet for inspiration. So far I like the colour scheme as it is bright which is very different from others and would be welcoming in a hospital environment.
