Further Supporting Research

As a team we began to think about how to make our campaign more interesting and unique and something which is more memorable and fun. We have decided to focus on the idea of community, cultures, families and so on for our main 'truth' or alight rather than focussing solely on the idea of music, although we also want to incorporate this into our idea, perhaps more laterally than literally.

We have began to look at other ways of using hands rather than them being in the air to music, still baring music in mind..
We have considered the idea of using hand lettering to create the word 'alight' this is something which I still need to mock up and try to apply to our existing concepts. Online, I found a useful source which I could use for references, using fingers and hands to create each letter of the alphabet. Of course we would also need to incorporate numbers into our poster due to dates and times?

Interesting?:
"Manualism is the little-known art of playing music by squeezing air through the hands. Because the sound produced has a flatulent tone, such music is usually presented as a form of musical comedy or Parody. The musical performer is called manualist, who may perform a cappella."
Hand positions related to music:
-Pointing
-Air pumping
-Rock and roll sign
-Swearing
-Hands in the air
-Clicking fingers
-Tapping
-Moving them side to side
-Looping motion
-Strumming strings
-Drumming motion
-Flute motion
