meeting with Geoff Wednesday 21st April

meeting with Geoff, the suggestions towards a final outcome were....

. Add a satirical element
. Look into a television channel that is designed especially for the colourblind/ Or a design tv interface
. Fashion for the colour blind
. Use colours in a satirical way to show how the difficulties of life can be!

I am very interested in using satire and colour within my final outcome, I have been thinking of ways in which I can do this, such as changes in colours reveal text etc. One idea I had was to do with test strips that change colour in water, it would be interesting to see if I could experiment with using two materials, the test strip and a similar material for text, when the strip is placed in water the colours reveal the text.

I also have been collecting interviews I have made with a few colour blind people. Some of the things they have said about colour are very amusing and would be great text material to use for my final outcome.

Meat colours are also a very interesting outcome idea, if there were some way to tell a colour blind person that a steak was rare, medium rare, medium or well done by the heat change in the meat. Another experiment I will try.

But... at the moment the test strip idea is really interesting me, i think there is a lot I can do with them, from making a publication in which you have to pour water on to posters that as they become wet in rain they reveal writing.
