This is from class Wednesday 9/14, where we started our new project: Monday Prototype. The assignment is to design a solution to Monday, through a smart object, mobile screen, and prototype. The project is supposed to take us through an interactive design process, from screen to object, considering temporal media and human experiences.
First we started with a mind map that we did individually, mapping out all of the different problems with Monday. I put some different color stars to some of the things that corresponded together.
After that we had to partner up and compare mind maps. Brooke is my partner on this project, and we both had some of the same ideas for what we wanted to focus on. One of our first ideas had to deal with coffee, but we mainly focused on anger after we talked through the options.
So, our idea was basically a "Shit List" where people could go through a series of questions that we thought could be humorous.
We liked that this could be used as an everyday outlet, versus just a monday thing. But for the sake of Mondays we also thought of incorporating Monday questions about the weekend, if you're hungover, did you stay up all night, etc, and it could give tips on how to overcome that. The Shit List would basically give you an outlet to talk shit about your day, or about specific people (no names) and then at the end of the day you could have many different options on how to destroy each of your shit lists, letting everyone have a way to let go of those things that happened to them throughout the day.
Brooke and I talked to Emmy about our idea but we seemed to not have a complete understanding about the assignment, so we had to come up with a new idea later. But we still did our mood boards.
Our mood boards had to be found images of technology, typography, color, textures, patterns, and visual inspiration that visualize and feel like our three words. Our three words were comfort, content, and calm, so all of our choices down the road will be based on these qualitative words, and the moodboards are one step to visualizing this. The mood board I created is on the right, and the mood board Brooke created should be posted on her blog soon.
