Childrens Observational Research

On the weekend of March 31 and April 1 I went to Monkey Mania in Fyshwick to observe how children act and be adventurous in a playful environment. I found with through my observation that children use their imagination almost everywhere in every day life. With their friends they are playful and excited and with the adults they are trying to impress.


Their clothing doesn't really show off who they are or who the child can be. The majority of the clothing was plain and boring with low quality. Childrens clothing these days are highly influenced by what their parents are wearing and through this observational research I discovered that many of the parents were dressed exactly like the children just a lot bigger. I found this task helpful in my research for both my consumer and my designs.
