WIP Feedback

For my WIP peer to peer assessment,  a fellow classmate reviewed my works and gave some honest and useful suggestions and comments that I could really use. His comments were :

Studio 

• The design issue is clear. Like the set up, it is clever to use these scientific apparatus which kind of symbolises the set up of experimentation. 
• It is clear enough as the SOI indicated the use of the 5 senses as a design concept. How about sight, touch, hearing and taste? With a combination of two or more senses will be more engaging 
• Design issue is addressed in a way but maybe a little element of mystery should be added on. Might want to consider to allow the audiences to experiment with the scent distiller which will make them curious on what scent they can produce.
• Travel journal 1 : Kind of hard to open the pages of the journal, might make a thinner spine.
• App playboard : Quite lost because it looks like an info graphics and quite confusing, might want to create a video on how the app works
• Test tube necklace kit : "Go on, be curious" is slanted, fix it.
• Smell library : Nice to have each bottle with different scent

CPJ

• CPJ has consistent documentation, many interesting images.
• CPJ can be more design oriented, nice that it functions like a blog but layout can be changed
• CPJ is well curated

My feedback for Studio

• Will explain more on background and the idea of "Made up curiosity"
• Talk about why smell and sight as main : they trigger memories most and scientifically proven
• Will emphasise and talk more about curiosity
• Decide if the distiller will be a "service" or "DIY"
• Will develop the app to be used and showcased on a smart phone
• Smell library was yet to experimented with but idea has been settled before WIP

My feedback for CPJ

• Change blogspot to a domain and design the layout

Actions to be done according to feedback

• Talk about Cognitive Dissonance : relating experiences with senses
• Service or DIY?
• "Be curious, play the role of a chemist"
• Experience = memories > inspiration = curiosity

I also had a small discussion with my lecturer and the feedback gathered and plans arranged were :

• Make distiller kit into a "business idea", package it and making it into a kit where it is purchasable and user friendly
• Make a manual for people to understand and learn to know how to use, assume that users do not understand how a distiller works
• Make a scent library, test out a few objects and make into a wide range of library with labels of what it is and where to find it
