The Brief
In my semester abroad in Lithuania one course concerned project planning:
How does one plan and then execute a project?
How does one plan and then execute a project?
I worked as the art director and project manager on this project.
The Concept
Our fellow Lithuanian students had told us about the main problems in their generation: not being able to express their emotions, wearing a mask in public and pretending to be happy for the sake of going out.
Influenced by these thoughts I started to look for a way to implement them in my project. The idea came up to make interactive drawing or writing walls in public. On such a wall everyone could put down thoughts or feelings anonymously. It would become an outlet as well as a space of input. They would feature a question to trigger people to interact with the wall. Out of a range of five questions this became the final one:
What do you want to be known for?
The Execution
After several meetings with the managers of Vilnius College of Design, a detailed project plan and loads of organizational tasks, my team was able to reveal and present the project at the Christmas party of the college. It turned out to be the main attraction and was a full success. As expected even days after the party, the wall was still filling with answers and comments.
