Icecream Architecture

After contacting Sarah Frood from icecream architecture to arrange an interview time, we sat down as a team and came up with a list of questions that we wanted answers to. So on Monday the 13th February, Yasemin and Esther went to Glasgow to met Desmond Bernie at there office on Nelson Street to carry out the interview. During the interview notes were taken along with it being recorded. On the train back the two girls discussed and compared notes that they had individually taken then joined them both together. 

We met up to discuss there findings, when about to listen to the interview recording we realised that it had not worked properly and there was no recording after all. Although a little disappointed we soon understood that it was not important as the notes the girl had taken were all the information we needed. Desmond gave us some great information about there business and how it operates, what they get from it and some good advice.

After a number of days (busy working on another projects deadline) we formed an image of what we wanted the presentation to look like and what it had to include to get the message across of what the business does. We talked a lot that day and then came up with 20 slides each falling under a certain category to do with icecream architecture. We split the slides up so that each person could take control of what image(s) were going on there slides, the next day we came back together and formed our presentation. At this point it looked great, the only thing we had to figure out was what was going to be said. This part took a little time to get each slide exactly right, once all the words were written out, we separated them giving each person 4 or 5 slides each. At this point it was time to start learning what to say and forming a list of words that would help if we got stuck in the presentation. 

The next few days were all about rehearse rehearse rehearse, I have lost count of the number of times we went through the presentation. - Now I am glad we did as it made us all a lot more confident speaking about this topic. 

Now it is time to complete the presentation itself! - Good luck team.
