In order to fully engage the audience and better create the location in space, we were encouraged to get into character. By us all wearing 'spacesuits' similiar to that worn during our 'control panel' installation, we would better enforce our creation of an interstellar setting.
Our postcards at this stage were considered too large for a typical postcard. We had not really considered scale as an important development but we realised if we wanted to print batches of our postcards using Risograph, it would be more economical to print smaller. We made the decision to reduce the size of our postcards from A5 to a typical postcard size of A6 so we were able to fit more on each sheet of A3.

| Considering a print 'Plan B' of screenprint |
An exciting idea came from feedback involving the upscaling of the 3D model we made of the space elevator for the Models & Materials task. A suggestion was made to use a circular helium balloon on a long cord/string as a larger alternative. We loved this idea as it would draw in the attention of the public from a far wider area. This also got us considering how our stall aesthetic would be complimented by our setting of the Forum with its glass ceiling and futuristic curves.
Foremost attention was placed on the finalisation of the table-top display layout and the 3D element of the balloon representation and 'postbox' to collect the written cards. We thought about constructing some sort of 'postbox' by modifying a swivel bin or some form of container.
