- Sketch this out
My stencil is alive at graffletopia. Download
This stencil contains reusable shapes and elements for sketching wireframes or wireframing sketches whatever you prefer. This was done after realising that the sketch tools out there where quite closed in the elements they have and also its quite difficult to share your sketches digitally. You probably know what […]
- Low-fidelity prototyping
Prototyping is at the core of Interaction Design practice from ideation to the final product. Even though prototypes can be a long way from the intended look and feel they are relevant to the design process for many different reasons. They provide means to learn from the problem, weigh solutions, gather information, evaluate designs, originate […]
- Open studio
Younghee Jung is an antropologist working for Nokia in a team that works on exploratory design research focusing on personal and mobile aspect of technology. Their approach is to learn from people so to inspire design. Also Interesting in their approach is the concept of the open studio more in a sense of a design […]
- Paper sound prototype
Paper prototype, originally uploaded by dpereira.
This picture shows Madushani’s first protoype during a session of role playing. The paper tags serve has objects to be used on the circular area so to produce a sound specific to a tag and its position. Andy was testing the initial concepts by using the system and its rules. […]
- Toolkit in action 2
Toolkit in action 2, originally uploaded by dpereira.
Last week i tried my first prototyping toolkit for the lead user innovation project. The toolkit was a mixture of transformable materials and a service storyboard template.
- Back to the future: design your own revolution
Charles Leadbeater author of WE THINK writes in 2006 an end to end article about user lead innovation.
What is at stake here is something fundamental to the way we see innovation, design and creativity and the way we organise our economy around them. We are moving from an era of mass production to one of […]
- Closer to manufacture
A new step to make smoother the realization of digital products directly from the designers hands: “Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product.” In other words it will means going from fast prototyping with breadboard to the product PCB layout.

- Tea and biscuits will make a better design for all (part 2)
Liz Sanders gives a practical introduction on how Adaptive Path use participatory design in their projects. Here is part of the interview that focus on designing futures:
“The idea is to get key stakeholders to tell stories about the future. We give them lots of visual tools and materials to help them make up stories and […]
- You are the computer, I am the user
Last semester week I presented my solution for the small practical project - the photolocket. This project was introduced as a test example for designing a system using paper prototyping. So prepare your post-its and pencils!
It is very good for small projects initial designs testing, as bigger the system to be designed is the more […]
- Tea and biscuits will make a better design for all (part 1)
Suzette Keith is a researcher on Computer Science with a range of interests in the general area of ‘Inclusive Design’. She was present last 3rd December in Current Issues of Interaction Design module to talk about design for all, with emphasis on her project of designing a car driving system with the elder in mind.
