BP: Connections to other artifacts

My group had 2 common themes when it came to our storyboards…
1.      The first theme that we came up with was technology. This included a GoPro camera, a fitbit and a Nintendo 64.
2.      The second theme was that our artifacts were mainstream. They were artifacts that everyone knew about. Everyone knows what a fitbit is, what a Nintendo 64 is or what a GoPro is so we concluded that our artifacts were mainstream.

Our artifact storyboards had many diverse and unique strengths. One of the artifacts that one of my group members had was a Nintendo 64. We came to the conclusion that this artifact’s strength was that it was vintage. Another artifact that had the strength of being vintage was a city titled The Highlands. It is a very old city yet is still a famous city. The Highlands because of its age also has the strength of being historical.

We considered some of our artifacts to be durable. Examples of these durable artifacts are the GoPro, the fitbit and the ugg boots. These artifacts can withstand daily wear and tear (ugg boots and the fitbit) and some could withstand the most extreme aspects of life (GoPro).

Also we concluded that our artifacts catered to specific lifestyles. For example, the GoPro catered to athletes and extreme filmmakers, the fitbit catered to athletes, The Nintendo 64 catered to gamers and The Highlands catered to artists or architects.


The last thing we considered is that our artifacts covered all lengths of the spectrum. The Highlands is a city which contained the remaining three artifacts (the GoPro in the hands of filmmakers, the fitbit on the wrist of marathon runners and the Nintendo 64 in the living room of the avid gamer).
