BACKGROUND
The Design Bazaar is your project... made by you and run by you.
It is challenging, intensive and demanding, but it is possibly your best and most direct contact to the reality of the market.
In this project you will get a closer and real life experience with what it means to sell something... You will exactly understand and experience what does it mean to produce a final and finished product and receive the market's direct reaction to it.
The whole project is your responsibility, your management and your investment.
This project is a chance to make money and possibly real sums of it... but be careful, you could also loose money... that is the commercial reality!
Each and everyone of you as individual and all of you as a group carry the responsibility for the project and it is of your interest that all projects together are as good as attractive and as commercial as possible!
Work as intensive and concentrated as possible but also take care for your colleagues work, here they are almost as important as yours as they will stand next to yours and could be an attracting factor for your product as well.
