26 April submission: TIPS
Some tips for today's submission:
You need to clearly state your chosen FUNCTION and group IDEA/CONCEPT. You need to clearly express the idea/concept in the design, and to reinforce the idea with your knowledge of the FUNCTION and TECHNOLOGY.
You therefore need to know everything about the TECHNOLOGY:
e.g. sizes of available gumpoles, spans, fixing methods etc., also marine ply sheets: what sizes and how are they joined?
You also need to understand fully the chosen FUNCTION. What will people (the users) do, and how? Think about the experience of the place.
PLEASE NEXT TIME USE THE DEDICATED E MAIL ADDRESS:

Good luck!
