Research This was a group project between 2nd and 3rd year Product Design. Initially we were split into groups to investigate a college around the Glasgow area. I went to Langside College to investigate the on-site careers service. As a group, our approach was to interview: -people who use the service, to see how they felt it worked. -people who didn’t use the service, to see why not. -the service providers, to see what they think they are delivering to their users. Personally, I interviewed a member of staff at the Careers Scotland office, a short walk from the college campus. The aim of this interview was to see how the staff saw the service they provide, so we could later compare this to what the service users said. As we had expected, what the company felt they were providing, and what the users felt they were receiving did not quite match up. During the trip to London, I visited Live/Work, who told me about user centric design, and taught me the benefit of face to face interviews. This was the key focus in our research, and helped us critique the service in a way that considered everyone involved.

Results As a yeargroup, we compared the information gathered from all 8 colleges, to identify where problems were reoccuring. We also came up with 8 fictional ‘user scenarios’ to explain different problem areas within the system. When it came to finally presenting the information, we split into groups: - Introduction. - User scenario group. - Opportunities. - Graphics. Initially I was helping with the user scenarios, and when that work was finished I formatted the graphics for the final presentation to the Skills Development Scotland staff. I learned a great deal about using InDesign, a programme I was farily unfamiliar with prior to this project. When we presented for a second time at the Skills Development Scotland headquarters, I edited down the 2nd year presentation to collaborate with the 3rd year work. This project required a great deal of organisation, as there were 24 of us working on one presentation. I learned to delogate and organise the group to ensure we were all working towards the same goal.

I shared a computer during the Flash workshops. Harriet Roth and I collaborated to make this video. I feel I have got to grips with the basic rules of Flash to the point where i would feel confident creating a simple animation.

Coin operated, Mechanical Photobooth: I wanted to create something mechanical, that made clear to the onlooker exactly what was happening and how the end result (a photograph) was achieved. My starting point was a camera and a cable release, and the challenge I set myself was triggering the cable release using existing everyday objects. When you insert coins into the cup on the edge of the wheel, the weight is altered and the wheel starts spinning. An aluminium strip attached perpendicular to the spokes contacts the cable release as the coins fall out of the cup and into a jar beside the wheel. The camera captures your expression as you watch the machine in motion.
