Prototyping: This week we were asked to actually implement our storybook prototypes to test them out. Prompt: Stage 3: Prototyping  Create 5-9 prototypes of 1-2 of your installation ideas in a controlled space, and document the process. What about the idea is successful? What is less successful?

For our last Design Foundations project, we were asked to pick a design flaw, based on previous observations, and do something about it. What my group discussed over break was the bathroom situation at most local coffee shops: there’s never enough of them. Unfortunately, we can’t exactly solve that problem overnight. After all, some peopleContinue reading “Tell Me a Story…”

In this week’s assignment, we were asked to observe people playing a game while not being involved. The game I chose to observe was What Do You Meme since I’ve played it before and some of my friends hadn’t. I let them have free range and didn’t tell them about any rules. However, whenever weContinue reading “It’s All Fun and Games”

Stage 1: Words • Emotion • Coffee • Winter (AKA, my 3 favorite things) I saw this video on Youtube one time that showedContinue reading “The Only Gloves You’ll Ever Need”

In today’s assignment, we were asked to observe a space for an hour, and take note of things that were or were not working for that space, and how there could be ways to improve it. The space I chose is the UMC where the Panda Express and Subway are. Currently, they are right upContinue reading “Problems, Problems, Problems…”

This week’s challenge was fun. We had to design a kiosk for a new Space-X terminal at our airport. Here is our thinking process: Appearance: There’s this artist who does prints for the National Parks, and I love the way they combine vintage poster aesthetic with current/updated topics and minimalist design. Most of the interfaceContinue reading “Denver Interstellar Airport”

Me and Peyton Ruhmkorff teamed up for this lettering/logo project and the results were fantastic I think. Both of our last names start with R; what other words start with R? Royal Rage Revolution Renaissance Radical Do these words sound familiar? Think: medieval movies, conquest, magic, and power. What we decided to do was turnContinue reading “It’s a Revolution”

If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think logos are my thing. However, I do believe in practice makes perfect, and boy did I practice for this one. I chose to design a logo for my friend Olivia. After a million tangents within the interview itself and both of us being completely sleep deprived, thisContinue reading “Olivia’s Logo”
