For the final project I decided to drop the watercooler idea, its not because it was a bad idea, it is because I don't have the Ideas and resources to create another 10 video blogs for the site. Creating the 1st 10 was hard enough.
For my next project (working together with Jeff's Idea) I decided to create a new site, a site where people come together and complain. Complain about their stupid lives, complain about surroundings, complain about anything you want. For the site I am planning to launch a show aswell that will be on the group portal site. This show will consist of Me and other people complaining about the most random stuff. Sounds fun? it sure will be

In the design potentials phase I explored the two potentials "Light" from the context Camera, and "IR communication" from the context television. these two context were deeply researched and explored in order to gain factual knowledge about the 2 chosen potentials.
In the next phase I explored the design aspects. I focused on the question "can light effectively communicate Space". Some experiments were conducted to explore these aspects. When conducting these experiments it was important to me to conduct these experiments using as many design disciplines as possible, these include Digital, Industrial and Interior.
The experiments conducted have come together quite well, and some knowledge was gained from each experiment conducted.
In the "concept" stage I set off to create 3 concepts that can be shown in a space or an insulation and can create some kind of experience for users. From each of the experiments conducted in the design aspects stage I came up with a corresponding concept from the knowledge gained while conducting the experiments. All 3 concepts can be traced back to one particular experiment conducted in the last phase.
While some of the concepts were clearly more successful than others. while I did have trouble at coming up with concepts that may be able to convey a positive experience for a person. But at the end I am pretty happy with the concepts. I do have 1 in mind that I would take to the next phase.
At this stage I think my process has worked to the brief of the assignments given, at this point I don't have any idea on how to change or improve it.

- Exploring an idea from as many design disciplines as possible, testing if the knowledge is eligible and factual.

YAY
I seem to have figured out how to upload video blogs to multiple pages on water cooler, so they are all nicely split up and easy to navigate. All blogs are under the videos section of the site.
update
An update on my video blogs, I decided to split them up into 4 different blog types on my website, they are:
Tutorials
Commentaries
Confessions
Promotions
They are all different types of blogs, and users are all free to upload to any blog they wish to, all the blogs will have a different theme to keep them fresh and interesting, I wanted to make sure they don't become repetitive.
I am just not too sure I will be able to get 10 done before Monday, it will take a maricle.
If only I picked a better site to do blogs on : (, I wish I had a time machine, I have 100's of ideas that would suit video blogs, next time I should read ahead...
