community advocacy project :: project pages on DIC

since the final deliverable for this project will be a case study located on the Design Ignites Change website, you need to get started with that process. here are the first bits of information you will need to start a project page on the site:

• project title: a short, snappy name for your project that's 40 characters or less.
• project description: provide a description of your project and the participants (you as the designer and the audience you're designing for) of up to 650 characters (not words). anything longer than this will be cut off by the database and will not show up.
• a representative image: 600 px wide by 400 px high. choose something you have created -- thumbnail sketches, sketchbook page, mock-up, etc.

within a couple of days you will receive login information and you'll be able to publish this info to the website. please post this info by wed oct 28.

deliverable :: rapid prototypes + feedback

for tyler's section
after thinking on it a bit, it would be smarter in the long run to have the report formalized a bit -- at least as far as it being in digital form. that way it is consolidated for process documentation (portolio, blogs, my grading, etc). here's what i want:

• a simple keynote or pdf file, ready to project.
• drop a pdf copy on my CAS dropbox: CAS > faculty > tgalloway > public > dropbox
• filename: VA_lastname_prototype_feedback.pdf
• UPDATE: visual / verbal evidence of this process posted to your blog.

presentation

• 10 minutes total -- five min or less to present, five min for feedback. no joking! i'm totally serious.
• describe what you asked, their responses, and how you will move forward. be brief!

process blogging

tyler here. i would like for my section 1 group to post the following work to their blogs

• written summary of your interactions with outside sources. tell me what you learned from this/these person/people that you did not find online. how hard or easy was the process of actually contacting and talking to an outside source?
• key slides from your presentation of your research summary and problem statement. show me your problem statement, one key slide defining your audience, the social behavior you want to change, and ideas for how to measure that change.

thank you!

rapid prototyping

read through the following information to gain a better understanding of what rapid prototyping is, where it came from, and how it can be useful to graphic design processes.

rapid prototyping tools, by dan harrelson of "the adaptive path". read the intro and the first section.

"rapid prototyping: an overview" skim through.
