Character Idea

When brainstorming i came to the idea that Creating characters to show where you are with little fun facts on the department would be a great idea! (as briefly seen on my powerpoint presentation, i took inspiration from comic book characters and the use of speech bubbles to tell messages)

Other than my Arrow arrow idea, my alternative idea is to have a series of characters which each represent a strand or section of brit eg. theatre, art, ict, science. My idea involves having  caricatures of  well known figures appearing around certain parts of the new building and saying an interesting fact about the subject or strand they represent. For example i would have a famous figure from the theatrical world say an interesting fact about theatre and a famous figure from the art world say an interesting fact about visual arts and design. The characters would be located where ever their representing subject or strand block is in the new building.

I feel this idea works well because it uses clever illustrative designs which would make the interior of the building more aesthetically pleasing and it allows you to identify which part or section of the building you are at. I also feel its a subtle touch that doesn't overwhelm you because it wont take up entire walls, just a small section in different parts of the building which as a result would allow other designs of the interior to also feature along side this idea which i feel makes this concept very flexible an easy for the designer to alter and improve if need be. Finally, i think this idea has a bit of humour to it which sends out a funny relaxed message to its students thus creating a calmer more positive working environment for all people attending the school.

I've planned to do 2 examples of characters in my idea. They will be for Theatre and Art.
