Week 3: Onsite Activity Tracing user experience in the site using video We used the videos we took to document patterns of how people use the space we are analysing. The video was taken around 2:30 PM. Each group member took their own video of a different area within our site, which was handy because we were later able to compare paths & patterns within the area. Our group worked together on creating a rough sketch that we could use to represent and display measurements within/of the site. We based our measurements off of tile and pavement size by measuring out singular tiles and multiplying measurements by however many tiles stretched along the distance of our site.

Week 2: Studio Activity Within our group, we assigned each person to a data set. Each one of us came up with three describing words for our own data set. We then went on to find images that best represented these words, and colour swatched them to create an appropriate colour pallet for the infographics we would later create.

Week 1: Studio Activity Quick Sketches Our activity for week one involved sketching both natural/organic materials; ie. a pine cone, and materials which are more structurally geometric; ie. a chair. With limited time restraints, we were forced to avoid becoming perfectionistic over the way our sketches looked. While it felt freeing to let go and trust the process, it was hard not to instinctively feel the need to fix mistakes or neaten the sketches. With each sketch it became easier to loosen up and avoid spending too much time on creating a perfect representation of the chair. With each sketch, you come to realise just how short one minute is, and each time I became more conscious of the balance I needed between quality and quantity. Prior to sketching the chair, we went over sketching techniques including cross hatching and stippling. These two techniques helped to create  dimension to my sketches in an efficient and aesthetic way....
