Week Three: Minutes from meeting

Overall market idea:
-                Playing on the suitcase idea
-                Travelling the world, maps
-                Airport
-                The amazing race
-                International
-                Party (balloons etc.)

International/ airport:
-                Domestic/ international
-                Travel posters
-                Different gates

NEW IDEA!

Passports:
-                When you come in you get a passport. Whenever you go to a stall you get a stamp.
-                Something to take away at the end (tangible)
-                Make stamps for each stall
-                Expensive?
-                This idea is interactive, and the customers get something cool to take away.
-                Stamps could be made from potatoes/ stickers/ sponge/erasers/foam stickers on a bottle cap
-                Very unique idea, nobody else has anything similar
-                We would need ink pads or paint
-                Overall theme doesn’t have to be travel related, the passports would tie in with the suitcases already.
-                We need approx. numbers of visitors from last year to know how many passports to make
-                Supplies on hand to make up more passports if we run out
-                Passports themselves don’t need to be big, or even that many pages
-                Insta photo camera, take photos of the people as they walk in, so that they can put the photo in the back of the passport.
-                Getting a buddy group and splitting up throughout the market to be at the different stalls and make sure the stamps are being given out. Maybe people would be feeling a bit persecuted because of this though.
-                Could dress up as flight attendants.
-                Tell the people how to get their stamps/ make them know what to do with the passport e.g go get stamps.
-                We could let the people to use the passports as they wish- get stamps or don’t.
-                Giving more of a motive to get the stamps. Competition/prizes.
-                Could have one special passport with a special stamp. If you randomly get that passport you are the winner.
-                Definitely need to coordinate with the events team with this idea.
-                Advertising/ generating hype would be really good, lots of social media.
-                Could do it like a game/scavenger hunt/ survivor/ amazing race. Might make people want to get the stamps. Would have to tie in with a couple of stalls so that the participants could actually do that stalls offering.
-                Cant be a timed competition though because that will encourage people to just run in, get a stamp and leave stalls, which would be rude to the other teams.
-                If you complete the challenge your name could get put in a box and one winner pulled out? So that people can go around the stalls with no time constraints.
-                Do people actually come and stay at the market for ages?
-                Trying to take the interactive art theme further.
-                Quite dependent on what the other teams say. If the events team let us do it/ if other teams don’t mind letting us tie in with their offerings and make them have stamps etc.
-                Paper for the Insta cameras is super expensive. Pack of 10 sheets estimated $20.
-                Could link in with a photo booth team taking the photos.
-                Still could have a pocket in the back of the passport to put anything you collect up over the day.
-                “Aero-mess”
-                we could communicate with the other teams about what heir logo is, what the want on a stamp and then make it for them.
-                Could try to get a buddy team to help us out with stamping.
-                The teams would have to participate with us and actually have whoever was doing the administration stamping the passports.
-                Prototyping- could do a mini amazing race in town. And the passports and stamps will need to be prototyped too.
-                Trying to get every stall involved.
-                Could collaborate with friend’s stalls for the special stalls where people have to do an activity for their stamps.
-                We should have a stamp for our stall, so that everyone gets at least one stamp.
-                This idea will force us to communicate and collaborate with the other teams a lot to make it work.
-                Could have advertising for other stalls inside the passports.
-                Outlines of certain stamps for people to go and try to fill by finding the stall where that stamp is.
-                We can rotate as a team between handing out the passports and going around the market.
-                Helping out any stalls that were really busy by taking over the stamping for them.
-                What happens of another team/ the events team wants to do this instead of us?
-                Definitely need to ask the events teams/ or tell them that this is what we are doing.

What are we going to do/ which ideas to pick?

Recycled lights?
-                Would need a buddy group who was doing a product
-                The other ideas we have are stronger, might be quite a common idea
-                Making something with everyone is a cool idea

Shadow art?
-                Projection of coloured lights
-                Big props with cutouts to create shadows
-                Video projection
-                Props are a good idea, gives something for people to do with their hands/ something to play with.
-                We can see the outcome of this idea, might not be that much left to be developed.
-                Where can this idea go from here? What else can we add to make it better?

Confessions booth/game?
-                Focusing more on the game angle
-                Linking in confessions is good though
-                Truth or drink
-                This idea has lots of potential to be developed, still not really clear what exactly we could do.
-                Do we want to do a board game? What sort of game
-                Looking at the artist model where you text a phone in a box and the texts will never, ever be read, so you can confess to anything.
-                Will the confessions be stuck up on a board? Post it notes/ coloured paper.
-                Game where you give a confession and if you lose the confession goes up on the board.
-                Giant snakes and ladders.
-                Truth or dare
-                Need to be quick to do, not trapping people
-                Last years one “hanging out your dirty laundry”

Strongest two ideas are the confessions booth/ game and the passports idea. They have the most potential to be further developed into something really amazing.  From here we will do some pro and cons lists to figure out which i=one is best.

Pros and Cons:

Confessions/ game:

Pros:
-                Interactive
-                People can confess or not if they want to
-                Funny for the customer and viewers
-                Weight off the contestants shoulders
-                Confined to one location
-                Relatively cheap to do
-                Easy to run/ not too much prior prep e.g. making stuff

Cons:
-                People might tease the other contestants for their confessions
-                People may not want to participate
-                Security (confessions being read in a non anonymous way)
-                If we run out of supplies
-                May not fit in a suitcase
-                Need a really big area
-                We would have to ask permission for a big wall space
-                People might be embarrassed to put up a confession
-                People may not take it seriously and be stupid about the things that they write.

Passports:

Pros:
-                Not confined to one place, it goes throughout the market.
-                Unique
-                Ties in with suitcases/ relates to our surroundings in the market
-                Encourages participation with other teams
-                Something for the customers to take away
-                Friendly competition
-                You’re not obliged to participate in it.
-                It is free for the customer to participate

Cons:
-                Might run out of passports and supplies on the day
-                We could be overstepping our boundaries with the events management/ design teams.
-                Cost could get high
-                We have to make and bring quite a bit of stuff to the day


Work Before Monday at 12 pm:
-                Keep thinking about the passports idea, try to figure out more pros and cons and develop it further.
