Everything. Library has no relevance on my job and the actual people its catering to is not something I fit into.
11
Same answers as before. Also whats a service designer? Whats an Other Designer?
22I am a graphic designer so I guess I fit into OTher Designs so it seems to be for more of a UX solution. Not something I would want to go to for a event because it doesnt look very fun.

Also I would rather learn at an event than solve a problem. Seems like a great way to do free work.

Why callout only these three types of designers? I'd be interested in going as a UX designer but might not feel like I can gain much from this. But if someone pointed out something that I COULD get, being a XD designer, or a designer that’s not of the three listed, that would bring in more people and spark more interest.
24
As far as the invite, I’d like to know more about how the event is organized. As far as the event itself, I don’t believe I have enough information to change anything.
53
I don’t believe I’d change anything. The invite content is attention grabbing, the event sounds really interesting, and I love that it’s inclusive and brings designers of all forms together for a surprise. Maybe a mixer to get people talking, mingling, networking, or some sort of ice breaker.

Would likely attend if the project architect was hosting the tour.
33
I don't have personal experience with rainwater catchers. Also I don't believe architect would be able to get any LU's for participating in this. And, I prefer not to attend zoom meet ups.
22
Would need more specific information in order to attend. And would prefer to donate time, if that is what this is, in a more clear and targeted event.

Location, making it able to attend virtually. Or have a separate event for service designers, as it feels like a separate audience.
44
More clear about the roles needed, and how they will interact. Is it a group activity? Do you need a variety of roles? Can I get something out of this if I'm not a physical/industrial designer?
12
It's so vague. I have to create innovated solutions all the time at work, what makes this valuable or important to do in my spare time? The materials ploy also sounds physical, that doesn't appeal as much to those who work in a digital medium. Sorry, but "gain exposure" is a terrible phrase for me that triggers a trauma response. I'm not really motivated by prizes, but if I was, you should mention the prize or value of it. The "why" of this is event is completely lost.

looks very output focused i.e. here is the finished design. I'd want to learn more about the processes leveraged by the various teams involved.
43
I see hack-a-thons mostly as places to find a job or get practice doing design. Now that i'm more established in my career, I would want to focus my social impact work on longer term initiatives vs. one-offs.
12
too much mystery. I'd like more info about the problem and what the purpose of the event is.
