Week 5

I was really excited when Dan announced that our final project for the UT had been changed to involve the Little Italy Art Walk. The Art Walk is an event that I personally would love to attend, and I thought that the idea of having each group come up with their own idea would be much more efficient than having twenty people try to come up with one cohesive plan. My group decided that we wanted our booth to have the theme "Express Yourself". We thought that attendees of the Art Walk would be inspired by the art around them and we wanted to give them an outlet to express themselves. Having the walls covered in white butcher paper would be the perfect place for both children and adults to doodle. We also thought they could get their picture taken in front of their artwork, with the UT logo in the picture. Along with the picture, which would be printed instantly as well as uploaded to the internet, we would have white magnetic frames that could be decorated. We thought this would be a wonderful way for them to remember the UT and think of us every time they looked at the fridge and saw the frame and photo. Another way to attract people to our booth would be giving away free shaved ice. We were thinking that in order to receive the shaved ice, the person would need to give their email address using an ipad to ensure legibility. We also came up with a puzzle contest to include a more interactive aspect and ending in the raffle of a Bamboo Create, a tool we believe patrons of the Art Walk would be interested in.

It was great to hear all of the other groups ideas and so exciting that we all came up with such unique ways to promote UT SD. I can't wait to get started working on the booth!
