Empathize
You will launch your market storytelling project by learning how photographers and interviewers notice people, places, and details with care. Then you will gather real evidence from vendors and the market environment so you can begin designing a visual narrative rooted in community, sustainability, and the cottagecore beauty of everyday market life.
Days 1 - 2
Define
You will study your market notes, photos, and interview evidence to define one strong visual storytelling problem worth solving for your photo story prototype.
Days 3 - 4
Ideate
You will turn your interview notes, observations, and photo studies into several possible visual story directions, then choose one promising concept for your low-tech photo story prototype.
Days 5 - 7
Draft
You will turn your research and idea sketches into a low-tech lifestyle photo story prototype by selecting images, planning captions and sound bites, building a draft sequence, and revising it through structured peer feedback before a milestone check.
Days 8 - 11
Test
You will test your Lifestyle Photo Story Prototype with real viewers, gather evidence about what helps or confuses them, and revise your images, captions, and sound-bite plan so your market story better reflects vendor experiences, sustainability, and the cottagecore aesthetic.
Days 12 - 14
Critique
You will use structured critique, vendor-centered feedback, and revision planning to strengthen your farmers market photo story prototype before the final reflection phase.
Days 15 - 17
Notice & Reflect
You will curate your final farmers market visual narrative, reflect on how your design changed through feedback, and share your work with authentic audiences through a digital gallery and exhibition conversation.
