Preliminary Ideas

After I resolved to keep the project to answering the two main questions, I thought that it would be most interesting if it could be more than just a survey. I wanted the very act of answering the questions to be an act of choosing whether or not to go outside of your comfort zone. This I thought, would add legitimacy by giving the project some stakes, and draw participants to think a bit more about their responses when they put them down.  

Originally I had hoped to have concentric circles with the comfort zone being the outside and then exiting the comfort zone being the far inner zone. But then I thought that to simplify the process it would be good to just have too separate booths, much like voting booths.

These were some of the pictures that were cut out and placed in the bowl to signify a mixture of success and failure. Some of them were meant to be ironic, but still to get people thinking.
