Task 1
I joined the group Helion de Villeneuve in the primary stages. Our first
3 meeting, was mainly brainstorming and in my opinion we came up with some very intelligent ideas. What most of us where interested in is the use of shadows in the windows which could result into something very interesting. Some of our ideas had to be dropped once the desired script was introduced to us but I do believe we had a very interesting compromise.
Take a look at our updated script:

Once we were set on a story, we all took on different roles in order to allow things to move on faster, what I contributed to most was the sound and video research which was the basis of out inspiration as well as what wrapped everything up.
My personal favourite find was the Ralph Lauren show and the H&M Amsterdam one. What was greatest about the Ralph Lauren one was the use of light in the beginning, something I really stressed we include and the H&M show also had a very interesting introduction.
Quite a number of our elements where chosen for the final projection. I joined the group of special editions, we mainly tackled the new years eve edition and Christmas eve edition which later became part of the daily projection. Below find some of my drawings which will be shown on the Grandmasters Palace.

For the manifesto our initial idea was to have photographic/illustrated posters that reflected ourselves which I though was a pretty cool idea and I would have personally like to have them free hanging from the ceiling behind each other and I feel that would have been pretty effective however the rest of the group felt there was a lack of interaction and decided to go for a wheel of fortune. This allowed each member to have 3 cards each reflecting our strongest points as designers. Check out my cards below.
