Payphones

It's nearing the end of the project and this is always the stage which is the most stressful. For me I find its the stage where I am most inspired. Sometimes this can be a good thing but often its not great. It means that you suddenly have ideas but not enough time to execute them. Often because you don't know whether these will be any good and therefore end up become small experiments. I find the whole 'experiments' stage quite frustrating. I fully understand that we need to experiment to develop ideas and it is helpful. But I just cant stand devoting a large amount of time to something that may not make a difference. However when it comes down to the final days something just kicks in. Suddenly more ideas surface. I don't know if I have the time to execute this one but I say still explain it.

 

Payphones are public telephones often placed in a booth for privacy. Pre payment is asked for

I loved the idea of creating a free payphone, the fact that its free comes with a catch. The catch being that you wont know whos on the other end as there is no way to dial a number, because rather than an electrical phone it will be a simple cup string phone. Still with the privacy of a payphone booth. Even though I do like the childish mannor that the string cups hold I feel like they may not be taken seriously and then could be ignored. By combining a modern phone booth to the childish cup phone I feel it brings a sense of adult allowence, allowing them to indulge in their childish side.
