Does it Matter?

Sophie picked this fact for me:
"The Average Child Asks 400 Questions A Day"


At first i was a bit worried, i had no idea where to start, and as i don't know any children in London i thought the only way i was going to do any research was by stranger observation so i caught a bus from Chelsea to Borough and luckily there were school children on it.  however i quickly realised that these were not the type of children you wanted asking you 400 questions a day so i decided that i wouldn't continue further down that route instead i decided not to focus so much on actual words but the concept.

My aim was to convey people involved, time period, quantity and stress and strain in a week project.  I focused first on the people involved which would be assumably parents and child and things that would represent them.  This is my basic idea:


I chose a laundry line because its a way of conveying time and its usually the parents who deals with it, but it also shown mass quantity.  I printed question words on each sock to show range and that each one represented a question.

Fridays crit was very helpful, people offered really good advise for example to change the question mark sign as it looks like a symbol for a Black Eyes Peas song,  someone else recommended not having so much red.  and Wendy also gave some helpful pointers on how to progress it,  however i haven't been able to do very much on it since then,  but i did decide on a new question mark and to vary the colours between the prime colours and green.  Hopefully i should have time as its got along way to go but a lot of potential.
