Free Breakfast Friday

I'll start from the top shall I?

The photos your about to witness are the results of our latest brief, a research project for which we were split into groups. My group was made up of myself, Will, Kate Fenton and Dan (but he was ill for most of it!)

We finally decided our theme was to be based on 'lateness', or more specifically, why there's so much of it in our class. This theme stemmed from Will's previous research on maps, which lead to 'routes to college', which lead to 'why people can't make it in on time'.

Anyway, a mammoth research gathering session and a lot of surveys later, we found the best way to lure people into college earlier would be to put on a free breakfast - tea/coffee and toast being the cheapest option hehe.

So Friday morning came round, and I dragged myself into college before everyone else to set up, and of course, take photos of our work ("in the public domain" as the brief states).

And first through the door...
... well done David :)






What a winner..

Thumbs up for tea!



All in all, I thought it went well! worth getting up earlier anyway. However, there wasn't a register taken that day! So we were left guessing as to whether our free breakfast actually helped encourage some of the late comers to be a bit more punctual. But I'm guessing it didn't hah.

Though the free breakfast was the main event, the results of it left us with another question...

"Would you pay £1 a week a for a free breakfast everyday?"

It's funny how we never really reached the end of this research brief, each new inquiry brought with it new questions and directions. I think I'm finally beginning to learn how to use research in a way that will aid my work, instead of doing the work and then bullshitting the research to make myself look good haha.

Oh the good old A level days..

Yeah, I'm please with what we learnt and I can honestly say I had fun with this one.
