WHY ARE THEY UPSIDE DOWNNNNN….

I DONT KNOW… this isn’t all my pages, but scanning, uploading, and blogging them is painstakingly slow…. so BAM thats all yoru getting..

im trying to make is a work mark.. i don’t want to present an image for it. because i want the audience to know the message from the name.

yesm..

new name

ive changed from

CurioCity

to

Curio

why? becuase matt made me realise what i have knowen all along. CurioCity didnt communicate correctly what i wanted.

plus i like how a curio or a curious thing is kind of a nice image of the imagination i was children to have

CurioCity

the name of my organization
CurioCity

Definition – curiosity:
a strong desire to know or learn something
a strange or unusual object or fact.

i love the meaning of this is in every sense, i want children to develop or maintain their curiosity, but i want them to be shown different and unusual things!
the whole idea to why i beleive curiosity is beneficial is because it develops understanding later in life, nd i believe showing children unusual things (and i dont mean immoral things) helps them to understand diversity, to appreciate differences.

target audience

my target audience, is Parents, or carers in a home environment.
of course my output is for children, but its the parents who im targeting to use my service

OUTPUT

i was thinking of what kinda of a system of product i could develop next term as my body of work..

so basically im thinking of things for at the home, to keep children entertained, curious, imaginative, and learning. SPECIFICALLY AT HOME. child dare care centre such as ABC learning centre have great learning curriculum. but im trying to get parents to keep there kids away form the t.v. to create sumthin that will get them exploring and being curious.

some ideas so far:
books.
games.
maps.

i like the idea of a book. the whole concept of a book is curiosity. why else would you turn the page
i draw inspiration from Dr suess.. the colours, the unrealistic representations

i started to thinka bout what got me away from the tv when i was younger. adventure and challenges got m away from the tv.
i remember wen my grandparents house was just finished being built, they had a lot of left over materials around their house. My brother and i would start at the front door, then trying to climb our way around teh house on the plants of wood and piles of dirt/bricks, back to the front door. BUT OH NO!! the planks are running low, its a 2 metre jump to get to the clothesline!! how do i avoid the dragons in the lava grass.. do i…sacrifice my brother and use him as a stepping stone? no.. i cant..
look, imagination and problem solving. this reminds me of a poem i have long since lost. about a young boy who travels along his Persian hallway rug. the red parts are larva and the yellow parts are snakes. but is there enough black to make it across?
