We started off discussing the idea that we had resolved to stick with:
6 Degrees of Separation/ Links.
Jake thought that the main concept was great, just that the links we had made were not interesting enough, we needed to make the links between the objects more exciting, entertaining, and furthermore appeal to our target audience. This could be achieved by making the links between the objects silly and maybe giving the links a narrative.
For example, Queen Victoria's knickers can be found in the V&A --> when Queen Victoria first saw the statue of David, she declared that his 'manhood' should be covered up by a fig leaf, that ornamental leaf can be found in the museum. We needed to make these links more lively and appealing.
A way we could do this is by making stories up, ridiculous situations/ scenarios..
for example:
You can find James II spectacles in the V&A --> as can you find Elton John's Glasses --> Elton John is gay, likes penis --> you can see many in a lot of the statues and so on.
We also thought that we needed to make the facts relate to British Youth cukture more, Jake found taht he related to Elton John's Doc Martins and Pinball Wizard Tommy(?) and these aspects of the V&A were what appealed to him, so we need to focus on what will appeal to our target audience rather than appealing to people who visit the museum already.
(Rolling stones logo, Vivienne Westwood etc.)
Ideas for narratives:
Random Story Generation, words out of a hat.
We also spoke about the format of our leaflets posters, how we thought if would be good if the leaflets could be collectables and they would tessellate to make a big poster. Jake suggested to look at Tangrams.
The shapes of our leaflets would not have to be boring rectangles but made up of different sized triangles and other shapes which could all be put together to invent stories/ narratives about the objects.
For example, one shape could say: the vases were used by... and another could say Queen Victoria or Elton John or The rolling stones... to store drugs or as herbal remedies and so on. Different arrangements of the shapes could result in different narratives.
Another option would be to have the leaflets postcard shaped and have the paper embossed, textured, coloured to make them more engaging.
We decided that every element of our project needs to be more relevant and engaging, especially the story element, maybe through the use of humour?
Also, the red and blue that we used in the presentation sheet could be used as the basis of our colour scheme and the colours are bold and bright, representing the national colours of the British flag, yet remaining contemporary.
