Spectacular Seaweed - Set brief
(Name, Logo, Illustration, Event Design) Problem The brief for this project was focused around climate change and the different choices we can make arround this topic. The aim was to create an outcome which helps address this concern and show an audience the way, and the how, of choosing a positive response to it. I chose to focus on seaweed and its benefits to the environment and our health. |
Solution
From this I developed the idea of a Spectacular seaweed event that could run in partnership with Sealife, as a way of raising awareness of the benefits of seaweed to our environment and how they can protect its important role in reducing climate change. These events would be aimed at young families with children and would include an array of fun and interactive elements. |
The Event
The Pop-up Spectacular Seaweed event will be made up of several different aspects, some aimed at adults and others for children. They are: - Seaweed sculpture boards - These are large boards made using recycled plastic from the ocean. They will be shaped to look like the different species of seaweed and will have the seaweed illustrations on both sides. They will be dotted all around the room so that people can walk amongst them. - Wall design- Across the walls of the event will be large displays spanning the width and height of the walls. These displays will include general information about seaweed, as well as facts and environmental information. - Seaweed hunt/activity - Upon entering, the event children wishing to take part would be given an activity sheet. For the activity they would have to go off and find blue circles on the wall displays that contain questions, which they would have to match to the relevant seaweed sculpture. |
In addition to the other features of the pop up event, there will be interactive information boards. These boards would be found dotted around the room and would be primarily for the use of adults.
- The boards would be simple touch screens. - When the boards aren’t in use they have a series of screensaver pages, one for each main topic page. These would rotate and from the screensaver pages the user can then find out more about the chosen topic by clicking on the arrow at the bottom right corner of the page. |
