Graphic Design Disaster!!

Hello everybody,
I am ALIVE and KICKING and UPDATING my blog!!

Miska (among others) explained our "Graphic Design Disaster" -reality TV-show concept in his blog quite well, but I'm gonna do a short re-cap and tell a little about how I came up with this idea in the first place.

Basically the idea for this show is a very, very basic competitive reality TV-show formula: people compete against each other on weekly tasks and someone wins the grand prize in the end. Our show would be all about graphic design and competing in teams through various tasks with a weekly elimination.

Elements of the show in one cool, simplistic slide!

So, about this idea. I went to a graphic design school where I learned that designing can get pretty heated up from time to time! You forget to save your work and the computer crashes? Drama! Somebody clearly copies your ideas? Drama! Out of saving space? Drama! Teachers try to change your works to their own liking? D r a m a !! We were laughing at the class because sometimes things got really out of hand, just like in a reality TV-show. So we started imagining "what if someone made a reality TV-show out of graphic designers"? Well, that idea was forgotten until now when we had to come up with a concept and boom, the idea surfaced once again.

Personally I'd totally watch this sort of reality TV. If I were to produce it, I would want to make it as realistic as possible though, with not much scripted drama or bad editing because I always feel a bit cheated when TV shows do that. This sort of show would also be pretty creative and I'm all-in for creativity!

That's our concept in a nutshell!

Happy thoughts,
Oona
