Project Brief 3: Statement & Teasers

I will be the designer in the team. I will in charge of the design aspects in this project. My role is to provide the team with a few draft of designs so that they can choose and give me feedback for any changes that needs to be done. Providing a series of draft design will help the members to see an overview of the design direction. The design must reflect to the theme of this project and how it can be easily identified by the audience. For now, I am designing the poster and in the future I will be designing the transmedia platforms such as the physical puzzles.

At this stage, the project ideas are set and in the process of researching. We have our setting and characters set. Each of the group members are working on a series of puzzle that will suit each of the characters from the story. Each characters in the story have a different role so we are creating a puzzle based on their role and then we will create a story or hints that will provide information to the narrative of the story. The audience will be able to choose any one of the characters by aiding them in a mission/ puzzle game where vital information is needed to save humankind. The other transmedia platforms such as audio log, journals and social media will be the base of the story. It will provide a background story and may provide information to the puzzles.

The future development of this project is setting the stories for each character since we are revolving our narrative based on the puzzles. The puzzles are the key to how the narrative would flow. We are now in the process in choosing the right puzzles for each character. Once we get this settled, the rest of the story can then be easily written. After that, we will intertwine the stories but this is still unconfirmed. Then, we will start setting up the physical puzzles and other platforms. We will have to do a series of test run for our project in order to know if the platforms are workable. Testing it out will allow us to know if there are any difficulty and understanding that the audience may encounter.

I really hope that this project will be a success in terms of completing every platforms and that the audience will be able to experience the realm we have created. I hope to see that each platform is able to carry a narrative effectively to the audience. The thing that I want to get out from this project is the experience and planning that goes into creating a transmedia platform. To learn the process of creating a transmedia platform and how successful it can be. As much as we can foresee that it might work there is also a possibility that it may not work effectively. Thus, I would like to gain the experience from creating it and also experiencing the story we created through the platforms.
