Meeting with head of Moving Tides

To make sure Moving Tides are happy with our ideas and thoughts for the carnival we gave a short presentation on were we are up to and our designs and they inputted there ideas on what they thought of our designs and how well they think they can be transferred into a class room environment.

I took along my little prototype to help explain to them what I have designed.

My feed back from this meeting was, to make the the hole costume bigger. I was going to do this anyway as it was only a little peace to show my ideas but I could defiantly see that they eyes would have to be bigger as when it was tried on by some one there head could touch the eyes and it did not look very cumftable so this was defiantly something to consider when building my actual prototype.

Maybe they need something on there heads as everything is senters all around there backes. They serjested bandagers that could be teye died at the same time as the T-shirts. I thought this was a really good idea and defiantly worth thinking about and even emailed my teacher to ask if they wanted anything on there faces inberticuler as my design had nothing to cover there faces at all. But she seemed happy with where the costume was going. S o I thought just adding the head band would be a nice touch.

Thinking about doing stencils for the eyes to make them all the same and simpler to each other as this could be something that just looks wrong as they are such a vital feature of the costume. I thought this was also a really good idea as I had not thought about this aspect of it at all that they would all be very different so will defiantly try different stencil ideas to make the eyes easier for them paint.

It was also mentioned that if I could not find purple plasterzote that maybe yellow plasterzote would do and having the spots on the legs purple instead.

All these ideas were really helpful and made me think much more about the actual taking the costumes into schools to hake and how they will achieve the final out come. My over all feed back was posotive and really only needed a few things ironed out which was good, and I was really pleases with there reactions to the design.
