Answer the following questions as succinctly as possible in your own words

10 mins: Cut & paste into your blog and start answers / 10 mins: Open discussion

1. Provide an example of a situation where you have to have trust – in the same vein as the author in his swimming lesson example. What made you trust in this situation and how did you feel?

When I first went to Timor I had to trust that the people around me had the right intentions and that wouldn’t lead me astray in a country I didn’t know the language or my way around. I had to trust that they were translating truthfully and wouldn’t get me into troublesome situations. Even though I trusted these people and was comfortable with them helping there was a feeling of anxiety and thoughts of preparation of if “worse case scenario” were to happen.

2. Where in our exhibition do we need to instill trust? Give examples. How are we going to achieve this?

We need to instill trust in people in out in the public and whilst they are at the exhibition.

To instill trust in our guest it will probably begin with the design team to connect with people though advertisement.

While people are showing up the exhibition to greet each individual will make them feel important and be willing to stay longer.

Directing them towards drinks and nibbles are always good.

3. What strategies are used to instill trust? Examples? Where do we need to employ this in Ten Squared? How are we going to do this?

Making relationships with sponsors and getting out into the community to connect with people.

Advertisement instills trust.

Taking sponsor forms personally to companies.

4. If you could “undo”any aspect of the preparation for the exhibition to-date, what would you “undo”? With this in mind, what would you change now in your preparation strategy to overcome having to “undo”anything?

Would have like to manage the time better and stick by the timeline more carefully.

Now going to keep to timeline specifically day to day.

5. Homework: How are you using the laws in relation to your contribution to The

Ten Squared exhibition? Provide a short explanation and example for each of the

laws so far.

REDUCE: When creating the logo I used “reduce” to keep the logo simple but effective.

ORGANISE: By organizing and prioritizing we are able to see which tasks need to get done first to meet deadlines.

TIME: Time management has been terrible but now that we have print deadlines we are able to delegate the time more efficiently.

LEARN: To give sponsors and the public a good exhibition all students need to apply knowledge they gain in class to their works that will be going on display.

DIFFERENCE: In the design of the invitation we need a good balance between the complexity of the illustrations but simple layout to make the information hold its importance.

CONTEXT: To have our advertisement target all relevant audiences we need to consider what is in the “periphery” to make sure we cover all areas and don’t miss out on an area by getting tunnel vision.

EMOTION: In the design team we have to ensure we put our personalities into the advertisement to give emotional connection with our audience. The advertisement has to show that it was done by students and not a standard corps type design.

TRUST: Design team can connect a trust relationship with audience through advertisement. We can also build this trust by greeting each individual when they arrive at the exhibition.  Also to get a good design going and achieve the best results as a team we need to build trust with each other in class to give and receive constructive criticism.
