Envisioning Parallel and Futuristic Worlds

Envisioning Now, Day 4 by S. Adrian Massey III 10/21/10 We started work on our final projects. The final projects used the same processes as the first few days except extended over a full week. The constraints of the final project were to interview a friend that has an interesting occupation to find moments of unmet needs. In researching the occupation of the interviewee the students created vision boards to represent a parallel or futuristic goal for the world surrounding that occupation. The deliverables for the project were a questionnaire and answers, occupation research, vision board, design iteration, design specs, model, infomercial and storyboard. In the morning students were directed to research their self-selected occupation. From this research, they constructed interview questions with an emphasis on being concise and respectful to the interviewees time. Afterwards they conducted their interviews, built vision boards, design iterations, specifications, or storyboards. The occupations that were selected were a symphony hall director, detective, cardiologist, architect/urban designer, and a rocket scientist. Envisioning Now, Day 5 by S. Adrian Massey III 10/22/10 We began the day reviewing visions of science fiction illustration. The aim was to highlight the lengths to which a visions subject matter can be illustrated and that the vision boards can be abstract and exceptionally artistic elements. After the presentation, the students continued work on their final projects.
