07/02/14 - Meet up

We met up today in the library to go over how we are all developing our ideas.
I had previous missed a session on Thursday so I was caught up with how everyone had moved the idea on in that time. How we present our idea was the main topic of discussion and we discussed designing and creating the prototype within the next week (I will be helping Annabelle although she was not there so it will have to be arranged on Tuesday) and how we can generate feedback from potential customers.
It was decided that we would contact a community facility which has a sensory room to understand more about their customers and to see what they thought to our idea. We may also use our own contacts to get a better understanding of what children would like on a wallpaper and what parent's main concerns would be when buying and decorating for a child's bedroom.
We also discussed how we would raise funds to create our product. The most reasonable idea was to go to the bank for a loan and also look into what companies may sponsor a project like ours. We need to look into companies that have sponsored projects before and understand the financial side of how that would impact how much money we would have to put into the project ourselves.
From this session we divided ourselves into two groups so we had the week to focus on either the design and prototype side or the company and market contact side.
