Day 1 Journal Entry

Today was the first day of the Sprint project and the introduction into the Project with Comcast. We first started  by meeting with team 1a’s manager, Matt Cook and deciding with team from the consultancy would be working on Brief 1, and which team would be working on brief 2. We all agreed to work on brief 2. We started our process by going over the brief and analyzing it, and each going over what we took from Comcast’s introduction and our first thoughts and ideas. This process went much smoother because  we were able to dive right into it, because we had met the night before to introduce ourselves and go over our schedules, while also exchanging information. We made camp in one of the graduate student labs which we had to ourselves. We used the white boards in the grad lab to put out any and all first thoughts and ideas, and began to start focusing on things we all found stood out to us  in the brief and introduction we were given. Some of the things that were brought up were personalization, interface ideas, and things we liked and didn’t like about our current tv experiences. We also created a survey to give students and people we know younger and older than us about their tv and media experiences and other questions relating to the brief. We took a lot away from talking about our experiences and knowledge we previously had. We all decided it would be good to begin sketching and filling out at least one 11×17 piece of paper of initial thoughts and ideas, while gaining more information from the survey and further research overnight. We also opened up a blog we could all share information in, which we also gave to team 1a to view. Team a1 made a blog as well which they gave to us. We plan on sharing information, research,  pictures of mockups, and sketches in the blog throughout the entire week. We also began a group text between me and all of my team members so we can easily communicate spur of the moment ideas and easily meet up.

Carter Agvent, and team 1b
