INTERVIEW

    

Due to the discussion of the last tutorial with Kay, I try to contact with creative companies to gain knowledge of tea drinker and hope to find an internship through the interview. Therefore, I created a booklet to introduce the project. The contents of the booklet are the brief of my project, storyboard of how it works and the content of the interview.

The brief of my project ：

When looking at what makes an economy grow in the long run, workers play a vital role in creating output. However, many employees became distractive from work, when working long hours; therefore, the result sometimes is a low productivity. In order to maintain optimal productivity and creativity, it might be a good idea to experience a different atmosphere from the work place, such as, going outside, drinking a cup of tea, and eating some snacks (Jeffrey, D. 2012). In other words, to assist employees to overcome multiple tasks, hungriness and fatigue, after sustained work by encouraging them to have a tea break,which is the most quintessential of English customs, could be an excellent idea.

In terms of the idea, my MA Project is about a concept to help working people to perform their work better. I will design a brand of providing tea and snacks that belongs to employees, who work in offices.
