I have had a tutorial and a lot of information, help and direction on my project were raised, confronted and questioned. However I felt that there were a few points which felt the most important and the best to help my project.
The first was that I'm looking into what skating means to people, however I chose to show quotes from professional skaters. When it became clear I should be targeting real everyday people. That is skaters, skaters mom's, people to hate skateboarding etc. etc. This would be more eye opening to people and allow for a better perspective of what skateboarding means to people. This also lead to a interactive mural at my show, where people could write down there and then what skating means to them and what they think of skaters. I really like this idea as lots of scruffy handwritten scrawling's would fit right in with the aesthetics of skateboarding and street culture.
The second was expanding on this idea of skating is more than just skating and how it becomes more of a way of life to a lot of people. Sure there are some that just skate occasionally but to others it is skating every day its the clothes the language and everything else. So expanding on this in a sense of my deliverables would really help the grind box becomes more relevant. As currently it seems like a prop or afterthought. So having multiple deliverable formats would be good. Such as adding t-shirts and board designs.
