I used Smartsheet to make a Gatt chart of my final project.
Based on
these:
- 24th of
June (Monday) - First draft of dissertation outline to Supervisor
- 22nd of
July (Monday) - Final draft to supervisor with suggested improvements
incorporated. Clear idea of demo (e.g. what you need). Provide one page/poster
for Dawn exhibition (requirements for this page will be detailed at due time).
- 19th of
August, soft copies to Course director (two copies, one for supervisor and one
for second reader). One soft bounded copy available for externs.
- 2nd and
3rd of Sept. (Monday and Tuesday): Imedia Exams (external examiners

5th of Sept.: (Tuesday to Thursday included): DAWN Exhibition open to public
Today I met up with Brain and Eileen. I need time to organise the documents then come back to replenish this dairy...I have too many assignments to work...
I did my
presentation about my final project for Gabriella today. Then Matt gave me a website where has a lot of collecting box design ideas on it. It is very helpful, I really appreciate it.
THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS’ FUND RAISING RITUAL
It is a Pitt Rivers Museum Collecting box in Oxford, made in 1996. "The Pitt Rivers is a wonderful museum of anthropology, and the history of anthropology. It has remained a classic victorian style museum, crammed with objects, divided into sensible straightforward categories like medicines, armaments, firelighting etc, most with hand written labels, often entertainingly idiosyncratic.
When a visitor approaches the collecting box, the wooden anthropologists inside rise up and point accusingly (their eyes also glow). When a coin is inserted the anthropologists lean over, a gesture originally intended as a bow, but appears more as if they are simply inspecting the donation.
The wooden anthropologists are all based on real anthropologists who contributed to the museum’s collection – the style inspired by the museum’s collection of African carvings."
At the bottom of the website, there is a
report "FUND RAISING WITH AUTOMATA COLLECTING BOXES" which I didn't
read yet. I need to go through this.
ST THOMAS' HOSPITAL COLLECTING BOX 2005-6
When the donor insert a coin and press one of the lift buttons to guess which
lift will arrive first.
The porter pushes the patient to the lift the donor have selected. The
lift indicators then move until one reaches the ground floor. The doors then
open, revealling one of the figures below. If the donor have 'won' (selected the right
lift), a character comes out of the lift to treat the patient.
The
caterer comes out & offers food to the patient, who then sits up and nods
in approval.
This is the video show us how the box work. I think the success of this project is that it utilise the curiosity of people.
