After the initial mind mapping stage, of which only three of the group turned up we chose to use social networking to be able to make other people in the group more involved in the ideas that we had and the concepts that could be develop. They in turn did the same so on the second day we met up we were able to see what each others had done and be able to properly evaluate which ideas to take forward as they had more scope to them and which could be discarded primarily as there was no point wasting time in trying a idea out and then not being able too take the concept forward.
After deciding on 3 ideas that we could develop forward we then chose to pick apart the concepts and see what we could, from what parts of the project people may be interested in and what may work too peoples strengths.
We came up with the idea of the secrets of the Northern Quarter and we wrote this manifesto to go with the project.
Unit X
The Onion Quarter (because onions have layers)
Our group aim is to explore and uncover the secrets of the northern quarter, the things that are hidden during the day, for example the underground clubs that are only open to people who are in the know. We also wanted to explore the history of the buildings and how this has possibly impacted the future of the shop. We will document the people throughout their daily life how personalities can change and develop from having a coffee in the early morning before work to after work going for drinks. To see how there mood can change and develop, and how there mood can change throughout the day, this is culturally relevant as the history of the northern quarter has developed with a history of alcohol, and recentally with coffee culture, it has became a hotspot for a alternative coffee culture. Which is against the mainstream of usual Manchester life
