Post-Day 1, slightly less confused.

While confusion on what to do for this “Gateway project” remains, Katie, a member of my group, has been able to better wrap her head around it. (Well done her!)

…Where as I’ve been reading and re-reading the brief, writing down key words, making spider diagrams of meanings.

So, between the two of us, what conclusion have we got to?
It seems we have to look at Preston as a place in which people mature, become better and more skilled, and come out to continue forward on their journey.

Like the university is to us, we seem to have to look at Preston, and how it may be the host for such growth, but at the same time explore how this may have changed Preston around it, and how Preston may seem completely different when we look back.
This still makes little sense, but I am starting to get on track. I expect I’ll have a moment of clarity soon, if I just keep boiling down this brief.

Side note: On the game design side, I’ve been playing with the 3D sun app on Iphone we have to base a small project around. It doesn’t particularly do much, but it’s a warm up, so I’ll try not to get too worked up!

And as a special treat, here is my attempt to make sense of the brief.
