The Components:
The Question that spurs the project (In What Way Might We):
In what ways might we communicate the contrasting perspectives of introverts and extroverts?
The goal for this project is to explore the varying personality types of introversion and extroversion and present our findings in a book/zine format. In this project, we will include research on the comparison and the different perspectives.
This will be a great collaborative project because we will have different parts and aspects to the book.
Research behind the personality types: The psychological theories of introversion and extraversion.
How and when does this develop in us?
Firsthand Perspectives: Interview people about their experiences as 1)introvert 2) extrovert
- How they experience meeting new people, social situations
- How they spend their free time
- expressing themselves
How different cultures/ family’s influence this part of us.
Visuals/ Artwork: illustrations of different scenarios with contrasting perspectives
Example: an introvert’s reaction to ________ vs/ extrovert’s reaction
Pain Points: INWMW expose people to other perspectives outside of themselves? It’s hard to put yourself in other people’s shoes, especially when personality qualities make us all so different.
The Courage Zone:
- Reaching out to people on the street and asking about their experience as being an extrovert / introvert.
- Making a video of self demonstrating the two contrasting personalities recording conversations
- Editing a book on unfamiliar Adobe softwares
Project Milestones:
- Conducting interviews with different people (varying ages and backgrounds) Form questions in class- interview independently?
- Field work: watching how people act in public spaces (isolated or in large groups?) Having specific research questions (develop in class)
- Independant gathering background info: Research Introversion/ Extraversion articles/videos/ lectures (everyone bring some sources to class to share with one another
- Final book presenting found information in designed format, adding our own art and design
Key objectives: desired outcome is a printed book including our research process and scenarios to understand better about the two contrasting personalities.
Detailed Project plan:
- We will decide the interview questions in in-class meeting together. Conducting Interviews will be done individually by each member, three interviews per week.
- Once in two weeks we plan to do field work where in we together will observe people in public spaces and record our observations. (sketches, recordings, videos? ) we also can actively observe in the places we go on our own and share with group when we reconnect in class
- Research will be conducted individually on specified topics which will be assigned as we proceed further.
- Each member will be equally responsible for some part of the book (final product) depending on the number of chapters that we end up with after the interviews and research.
Outcomes: A preference book for readers to understand themselves and assist them to balance their personalities in their daily life. A way for people to look outside of themselves and better understand a different outlook, and maybe push themselves out of their own comfort zones.
Measures of success: We will plan and assign tasks in class and in person meetings, then mostly work independently and bring back our findings to integrate together. We will communicate via canvas discussions and conference chat/ microphone. The final product and the outcome will be the most collaborative as individual tasks will make up the final book.
Delivery: The final product has two parts, combined into one PDF
Part One: The finished presentation PSDS2115_Sec_Final_GroupName_F15
Part Two: All documentation, schedules, notes, images and intermediate work. (everything)
