 Rationale

The Wellington town hall has been a well-known Wellington landmark since 1904, and as a music venue has hosted a huge variety of local and international artists of varying genres and disciplines. The main auditorium was designed principally for orchestral and choral works, and is renowned for its favourable acoustics which surpass those of many more modern venues. The Town Hall is currently undergoing earthquake-strengthening, and for the purposes of this particular assignment still needs funding to complete this construction before being able to re-open.

Our concept of a town hall celebration festival in which Wellingtonians of all ages can join one another in celebration is delivered using multiple rhetoric strategies. Our campaign focused on the idea of celebrating the music history that is associated with the venue, and to convey this we employed both homage and pastiche to push this rhetoric. Adopting visual design styles from the 1960s and 1970s transports viewers back in time and invites them to consider the building’s place in history and the concerts it has hosted over the years. A second rhetoric strategy which we used quite strongly was allusions to The Beatles, who played at the venue in 1964. Not only is the headline, also the title of one of their songs, but we have design pastiche throughout our campaign which references the famous cover art of their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

During todays lecture we looked through some examples of ihi wehi that we had seen from the last project. We are excouraged to keep thinking about ihi wehi and some of the rhetorical approaches from the posters we did before. In class we looked through the 4 early concepts that we did for another simpsons character as homework and pick the best ones. We had Comic book guy as ours and we got pretty good feedback from the others at our table. We also went through a reverse brief to gain more clarity on our project and the direction that we want to go in. This exercise was very helpful because it enabled us to close in on our concept and direction.

We found that our favourite part of this assignment was the development of the take away item (t-shirt, tote bag, and the transmedia touch point). We also enjoyed how open the brief was, obviously you had to have a website and a poster, but you were able to choose your overall idea (save the hall/neighbours day). You were given total freedom with the other items that you could add to enhance the whole design. We think we could have set out a better process plan, create internal deadlines for each other to make sure we are on track. We think that we could have saved some stress at the end (although it wasn't too bad at the end). If we did a better plan we could of added even more touchpoints to further create a solid identity. Overall we are happy with what we presented and enjoyed the delivery of the paper. Tim and Ant were very helpful and gave us plenty of useful feedback in our design process Mary and Matt.
