Assignment 9: Working on our project outline

Outline 1:

Considering a space based upon the livelihood of a certain group of people. To look into its systems and patterns and to enhance or increase its efficiency. This is to occur based on the requirements of the players involved and the emergence of new ideas/thoughts through knowledge and experience of that space.

Objectives to be considered:

*To look into sustainability of the space

*To observe the practicality, logistics and better use of resources available

*To imagine the future of that space while creating a strong base to work towards the desirable future

*To look into the standard of living, health and welfare of the residents

Threats:

* Having an already set, concrete system in place created unconsciously by the people and their lifestyles

Outline 2:

To consider a space based solely upon their livelihood. To look into the logistics and work related topics to work towards improving their current business position.

 

Objectives to work towards:

·      To look into the strengths and weaknesses of the product and its systems.

·      Identification of the product placements and work towards it in a more focused and direct manner.

·      To promote the product by creating a brand identity

·      Working towards the advertising, packaging, and creation of network of people willing to act as middlemen for the product

·      Identifying potentials for the a service, product, material, technique or skill, and broadening the demand base by making such a service or product available

Threats:

* Non-availability of facility or resources while working towards the brief 

After writing down the basic ideas for the brief, I picked one and looked at it a little more. It is based on the place I go to, the system of working I find there, and the scope for change. Hence, the project brief is a detailed 'outline', yet vague in the sense of the place and the actual work to be done.
