Name of the sketch:
Timing-Trouble
The design problem:
Too difficult to get an overview of what happens when, resulting in the guest not being able to have a good time doing all the stuff he/she wants
The message:
It needs to be possible to plan out your day as to avoid stressing to do everything at once
Techniques:
Stop motion
Name of the sketch:
Guide-Gang-Up
The design problem:
The guides are overburdened, everyone is asking them
all the time, and they’re not able to provide everyone
with a satisfying answer.
The message:
Employ QR codes, signs and improved programs to
help lessen the pressure on the guides.

Name of the sketch:
Profoundly Confusing Program
The design problem:
The layout of the program doesn’t lend itself well
to giving the guest a quick overview of the events.
The color-coding is confusing and inconsistent.
The message:
Use a new color-coding concept, dividing the events
by their nature (active, observing, kids, academic), as well
as giving the program a new and more intuitive layout

Designprocess:
Week 1 (Fieldwork):
Week one started with a client meeting. We grouped up with another group who also worked with the landshape festival and had a long meeting together with the client. At this meeting the client pointed out some issues she had about last years festival which she wanted us to take a look at. What we wanted to do this week was to do some fieldwork to find out how to approach this case.
We visited Gateway Blokhus, to experience the area where the next festival should take place and we dicussed different ways to approach our case.
The last days of this week we really tried to identify the main problem of this case, wich were not an easy task. We engaged our case by making an object theater about it. The result were quite messy and nalyzing out sandplay further out showed us, that one of the main problems about the festival, as we saw it, was the mess of the program; everything happening at once.
Week 2 (analyzing the problem):
So what we did afterwords was to look into the program from last year by analyzing what happened at what time during the festival. As well as looking at the actual layout of the program.
Hereafter we interviewed a couple of the 2014 guides, who all told us that there was a problem with on-site information, and too much strain on the guides. Considering this, we chose a focus on on-site info, in order to improve the flow of activites during the festival. A more intuitive program and some kind of means, besides the guides, to give people information during the festival. We also narrowed down our main target groups in collaboration with our client, at a new client meeting whereafter we had a meeting with the other group again to sum up the issues. Hereafter we made a voxpop of these target groups, in an effort to identify their wants and needs during an event like this. Hereafter we brainstormed about the project and discussed each idea in the group in collaboration with the other group working with the landshape festival.
Week 3 (concept development):
This week we did the actual concept development and made sketches of our solutions:
Hereafter we made video sketching of our process. We reconsidered some of our solutionmodels and decided which ones to go with. Hereafter we made storyboards and planned and made the videosketches of our solutions.
