General Answers to Common Questions

Just a reminder that an announcement has been made on blackboard regarding the reduction of workload to your final submission, apart from that see below


Q: We have a print pdf and an interactive pdf, are they meant to be two different designs?

A: NO! all you are doing is printing off your interactive pdf through an A3 colored printer so you can pin it up in class.



Q: 2x Draft Models. Do we have to design two different versions?

A: Not exactly, 2x Draft Models means 2x iterations of your design development. In this case your sketched storyboard exercise is considered as 1x draft model as it is evidence you have engaged with the design development.



Q: The physical object, do i have to literally rebuild my digital concept model with boxboards etc?

A: NO! Think of your physical object as a physical base to set your markers on. The design of your physical object should be driven by how you want to unpack the narrative of your concept model. For example, there are a few students who are looking at notions of fragmentation, then making their physical object as a 3d jigsaw of markers or a rubiks cube like entity.


Q: Will we be demonstrating our buildAR file in class?

A: Not really, this is what the 1.5minute screen recording is for. Keep in mind that you only have 5 minutes to present your scheme so think of the 1.5 minute video as an opportunity to set how you want to communicate your concept model. We do want you to bring in your physical object w/markers on them so we can assess the physical model.


Q: Do we still need to bring in our interactive PDFS despite us having to print them off.

A: YES! put them in a USB drive. You'll be presenting on the screens, showing your interactive pdfs, and clicking on the embedded videos. The print versions are merely secondary presentation devices that people can just walk up to and position themselves to it (and also for tutors to sketch over if they need to).


Q: 2x poster layout. Is it still a composition alike our Assignment1 task?

A: Theres more flexibility in this for your part, but refer to Project1 Assessment Criteria;- "Are posters well laid out and engaging to the viewer. Are images, visualisations, and documentations produced in a high resolution and complement the conceptual/thematic standpoint of your design?" We also have had a suggestion whether you could reuse the Assignment 1 compositions and reuse/update/add/swap out those contents. The answer is yes.
