First thoughts about the concept
What do we want to achieve?
We want to create an interactive and physical experience about Ottoman Calligraphy. We are informing / teaching the target group on an easy level.
For whom are we designing?
We are designing the experience for people that have no idea or knowledge about Ottoman Calligraphy.
Where's the environment of this experience?
We think it should be a travelling (from place to place) experience placed in an open and public environment.
What is it?
It’s an interactive and chronological path guiding through the Ottoman Calligraphy. During your walk, you’ll learn about meanings of the Calligraphy and you can create your own individual sign.
Brainstorming
Before we thought about a concept we did a short brainstorm. We brainstormed about different subjects. The subjects were about the target group, our goal, the environment, interactivity and about the materials we wanted to use. We wrote all our thinking’s on sticky papers, so that we could easily change and move around the words and ideas afterwards. After the brainstorm we decided in which direction we wanted to go.

Mindmap: Calligraphy

Today we finished our mindmap. It's good looking and it's a nice starting point to form great ideas. Creating ideas is something what we'll do tomorrow.
The rest of the day we had two very interesting lectures. Tonight at dinner i hope to discuss the information with you, my teammates. And maybe we'll put a nice review of it online by tomorrow.
