We kicked off our visual design phase of the HACER Website Development project last night with a little mood board. Fun!

This is an exercise I did for my ski boot project. Come up with 6 Critical and 6 Wild and Creative options for a product/object. I chose to continue research and development of my ski boot project. Our in class critique today brought me to some interesting conclusions that have helped further my overall development of the project. I am quite please!

Here is a calendar design that I've developed for a website project that I am managing. The idea is to cleanly separate things that you are doing for the week and will happen on the due date with the things that you will complete as a result for the following week. In then end you should also be able to visualize the complete development of the project throughout it's duration.

Create your band name & album cover!

This is a fun/quick one. Here’s what you do:

1 - Go to Wikipedia’s “random” page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page’s "random quotations":
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click “explore last seven days”
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it together.

5 - Share with your friends! Put it on Facebook or Flickr

Here's a study I did a couple of weeks ago as an expansion of my Ski Boot ideas into the usability of ski boots.

Simple, but effective prototyping technique from Google.
