For the next part of the brief we had to develop some boards that would clearly state our intention and where our ideas had come from to help tackle the problem. Once the boards were done we then had t present them to other groups in order to get some feedback on what other people thought of our idea.
What we learned from these crits was very useful, we realised that instead of focusing on the problem and the best way to tackle it we had all become a little too focused on what they final resolution and were becoming to ambitious with it. We needed to reign it in a little bit and focus more on tackling the problem in the most effective way and if we were going to hold an event in a hypothetical situation we had to make sure that it could really happen so therefore we had to make sure the audience would receive it well and that the point of the event was very clear and not just some graffiti event. It needed to have a purpose.
Another problem was that in a way we seemed to be promoting the idea of graffiti and that it is acceptable, which to a certain extent we were but it was coming across that we wanted it in a controlled manner, this was a problem we were seriously going to have to tackle, because as we later realised youths may find graffiti 'fun' and 'cool' but adults might not, we needed to research this further.
We needed to make it clear that the event was more of a sideline to getting the youths that are interested in graffiti, just generally more interested in art. We wanted it to be a stepping stone into channeling their creativity into some more successful, and would later possibly help them build a career for themselves.
