FAIL, FAIL NOSAS POSSIBLE

CHOICE Our first assigment in 351 was to listen to a Radiolab podcast relating to “choice”. After listening, we were assigned to create a visual piece in response to the podcast. After listening to the Radiolab Podcast I began to have an influx of thoughts in my sketchbook. In the podcast they discuss the idea of choice/ decision making and how we as humans have a complex process in making choices. I took the podcast and interpreted the hearing as some sort of a scientific study on how one’s brain comes to the resolution of choice making. One section that resonated with me was the study done with cake vs. fruit/ memory capacity and the idea of emotional vs. rational decisions; I realized the brain activity to be fascinating and how the conscious and subconscious have such an influence to the psychological part of one’s brain. Conversely, I was intrigued to hear the statement near the end of the podcast on how the conscious will is only an allusion and made me question our decision-making and how uncontrollable it is.

NOTES > berkley bowl: supermarket with vast variety of options > feelings of different fruits > multiple options: freedom of choice > people don’t know how to choose when given everything > When-how-where to choose?

> MEMORY: > humans can hold about 7 numbers/digits (7 +/- 2) > PEOPLE WITH 7 DIGITS CHOOSE CAKES > PEOPLE WITH 2 DIGITS CHOOSE FRUITS > emotional likes the cake, rational likes the fruit > emotion drives choice that easily > RATIONAL VS. EMOTIONAL > pathologically indecisive > just stop and go with your feeling! > WITHOUT FEELING YOU’RE STUCK.

> what is the power of feeling? > alarm, the brain is just helping to make choices

> subconscious ) feeling/past wisdom ) results in choices

*WHO IS IN CHARGE OF MAKING CHOICES?

â&#x20AC;&#x153; We make up stories that

make us feel good about the decisions we make but we are not nearly in charge as we think.

IDEAS/

After we found out about our assignment, I sketched out a quick mind map. As I was mapping out my thoughts, I started to see a pattern; most of my ideas revolved around the brain. You can see on the map, there are diverse content in relationship to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. My next steps were sketching out visuals.

CONSCIOUS IS AN ALLUSION! When thinking about this idea, i couldn’t stop thinking reality and how important the decisions we make effect our life. The wording “THIS IS NOT A DREAM” makes

EMOTIONAL VS. RATIONAL The cognitive process plays an important role when you are deciding. The two major processes your brain deals with is the emotional and rational thought process to your decision. The sketches below are just some ideas that came into my mind while listening to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cake vs. fruitâ&#x20AC;? discussion. The use of seesaw represents the teetering of the two cognitive processes. The reason why emotional out ways rational shows importance; we tend to rationalize and question everything which makes the decision process that more tedious. One of the things that was said in the podcast was when in doubt, go with your feelings/gut because that usually is the better choice. emotional > rational

BRAIN NERVES/CELLS/ NUMBERS/CONNECT THE DOTS? I was thinking about brain and the relationship to a nervous system *interconnective/ connecting or capable of connecting with something else or with each other. The idea of connecting and that infinite relationship interested me. I investigated further onto online and found some interesting things that helped me to think of my visual. After finding that information, I experimented with lines and the interconnectivity idea by the endless thought process when making a decision.

THOUGHTS: form conceived in the mind, rather than the forms perceived through the senses. Thoughts are the procestses by which concepts are perceived and manipulated. CONNECT THE DOTS: In adults, the phrase connect the dots can be used as a metaphor to illustrate an ability to associate one idea with another, to find the big picture. -wikipedia

My intention for the choice poster all originated with a quote from the podcast, “The conscious will is only an allusion and made me question our decision-making.” This made me focus on the choices that one makes when faced with decisions and to question if it’s the right one. I decided to map out my thought process and somehow work with a mind map. This resulted in my final piece, a superhighway of my conscious thoughts. In my poster there are a plethora of random thoughts when I order food, and all the thoughts are connected together with lines showing the different tangents that resulted from a thought. The act of connecting all the thoughts gives off a sense of an overwhelming feeling to the viewer and makes them realize that this goes on in everyone’s head. From last week to this week, I tweaked my poster given the suggestions in class. The first thing you will notice is that scale of the poster; I increased the size of the poster while keeping the map the same size. I also changed the coloring around due to the disconnect between the color choice of a thought. Originally the important thoughts were in blue while the least important thoughts were in yellow, people felt as if the color should we swapped around and emphasis the important thoughts in yellow (highlighter). I also changed the sizing of the circles for the important thoughts to be even bigger and more noticeable. And lastly I got narrowed down the yellow/important thoughts so there would be fewer of them.

Final version of my poster. /changed size, increased to A1 paper size. /changed the title to â&#x20AC;&#x153;superhighway of my conscious thoughtsâ&#x20AC;? /brought the cirlces forward.

Over the summer break we were assigned to read “The Creative Habit” by Twyla Tharp. Tharp shares her thoughts about her dance experience and relates it to a creative process. The book was interesting as it challenged us to try new things and view things from a new perspective. For the group project, we were assigned into groups with a specific chapter from Tharp’s book. My group, including Amy and Rachel, was assigned chapter 7, “Accidents will happen”.

YOU DON’T GET LUCKT WITHOUT PREPARATION, AND THERE’S NO SENSE IN BEING PREPARED IF YOU’RE NOT OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A GLORIOUS ACCIDENT. As a group, re responded to this quote the most. As we were thinking about an audience, we tried to think of a group who we felt needed this message to better their habbit. As a result our target audience is computer science majors, as often, if ever, make errors/accidents.

We were stuck on the form and having trouble if form should be 2D or on a computer screen. Sarah directed us to Dr.Huang, a computer science professor and suggested we talk to him about our idea and get some feedback.

Before meeting up with Dr. Huang, thought of a few questions to ask him: QUESTIONS TO ASK: % What are some things that were accidents that turned into good things? % Do they like subtle things? Enjoy them? % Do they like surprises? % Are they open to luck? Believe? % Are they stubborn? Not like to admit accidents % Thoughts on “2” % Space, how do you feel about something put into your space? % Student’s attention span

HIS ANSWERS: % Luck: % 1. given problem: map it out % 2. stuck- bug/debugging % 3. they think they can handle it, but when challenged with real world context they freak % these kids are freaks. They are so weird.

When chatting on skype, they are completely different. Different personalities?

NOTHING WAS AN ACCIDENT.

% Software always works! It only breaks when you adapt it

Need of perfection.

% Only do what they need to do % READ: “art of unix programming” It’s what the CS students must read % Computer science people: basically software designers - architectural design % 1.software design  user need  not sure  design + user % 2. always a moving target % 3. users are developers themselves. Takes vision + philosophy

THINGS LEARNED FROM DR. HUANG % They are stubborn people % There are no “accidents” % These people are weird!

After speaking with Dr. Huang, we felt like the current form was lacking in its content. Because of this, we changed our idea (for the better).

NEW DIRECTION? **SENSE OF OBLIGATION Pg.127 / The Creative Habit “But obligation, I eventually saw, is not the same as commitment, and it’s certainly not an acceptable reason to stick with something that isn’t working.” Don’t hesitate to throw away the clumsy parts and rebuild them. -THE ART OF UNIX PROGRAMMING KISS- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Rule 6: there is no rule 6. Rule 17- design for the feature because it will be here sooner than you think Rule 12- rule of repair: when you must fail, fail nosily and as soon as possible -get rid of extraneous information

ITERATION #1 (IDEA.ONE)

Because computer screens are important to the computer science students, we felt like it would be appropriate for our form to be 4D. This idea is a computer screen saver. The idea of getting rid of extraneous information by moving the mouse was the concept. However there are quite a few things not working in this idea. First and the main reason this idea is weak is because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a screen saver; once the user moves its mouse the message goes away. This is unmemorable and bland.

ITERATION #2 (IDEA.TW0)

DON’T FEEL OBLIGED TO KEEP IT

NO. peel

DON’T FEEL OBLIGED TO KEEP IT

This idea came about after thinking about how we could still integrate a non-on screen element. The saying is taken from The Art of Unix Programming, meaning if you don’t need it throw it out. The form would be a sticker and be stuck under a computer programmer’s mouse. With the sticker under the mouse, the “EXTRANEOUS INFORMATION” screen saver would be on the screen. The whole idea was to try to make the screen saver more memorable. So the screen saver would turn on and when the person tries to get rid of it, the sticker on the bottom of the mouse doesn’t allow it to go away. So then the person would check the bottom of the computer and would see this message / saying. Thoughts: DON’T MESS UP WITH EQUIPMENT.

Disconntect with screensaver and mouse

FEEDBACK: % Virus, infecting their space â&#x20AC;&#x201C; computer % Password protected? % Puzzle? % Error message % Message wording- using their language % Puzzle, solving a certain problem before they can understand the message % What other things do they emerse themselves into? % Find examples of things / form that has been done before % What inspired your form?

New idea: ****Puzzle screen saver. The puzzle pieces are random photos plus a phrase from The Art of Unix Programming (KISS, keep it simple stupid). The user must match the center puzzle correctly in order to get to their computer. The user can delete photos to clear up space and make it more manageable. There are 50+ photos along with 4 correct puzzle pieces. If they find that piece then they have access to their computer. The purpose of having multiple pieces represents extraneous information, to get to the core message; they have to delete random pieces they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need.

ITERATION #3 (IDEA.THREE)

SOME SKETCHES

PUZZLE PIECES

FIRST DRAFT

The screen saver

User tries to drag piece into the square

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong piece so it repels back into the side column

User drags the correct piece in the square

User is able to delete unwanted pieces

User is able to delete more than one piece at a time

The correct piece that is in the set the user tries to delete will not delete

The puzzle is complete

After the puzzle is solved, the background turns black and enters into the desktop

FEEDBACK AFTER FIRST DRAFT % Look at apps on the apple store % Have you thought of a timer? % + time = more pieces % Think of other sayings, more than one % FAIL HARD & LOUD % RULE 6. THERE IS NO RULE 6 % CLARITY > CLEVERNESS

FAIL LOUD AND HARD

CLARITY

CLEVERNESS

Examples of similar concept

FINAL We took all the feedback and redefined the form. The screen saver is more tech-gadget-app like, something that we find appealing to computer science majors. We made the center puzzle area black because we felt like it needed contrast against the white columns. We made a few with different sayings because we questioned how challenging it was for someone to constantly use the same screen saver. Lastly, we added a timer to the bottom of the screen. The timer is set to 30 seconds, and if the person does not solve the puzzle within that time frame, more puzzle pieces being to pop up. We believe we made a huge stride from our original idea and concept to where the final piece stands. We wanted something that resonated with the audience not only visually but also conceptually. I think the using phrases from their vernacular was a great idea as it pulled everything together.

· Interests: design/structures/architecture · engineering major – civil focus/structural. Interested in all the process: beginning – finishing, especially taking the math behind it. “Cause you can build better things if you know everything.” · likes math and numbers, likes art and drawing · Music: current phase - classical music. “I started to play the cello this summer. It helps me think better and think outside of the box. I think music is another combination of math and beauty, like architecture.” · “I like sports. I like pretty much every sport expect for golf.” · Hobbies: “I’m in the concert band and in the orchestra. I’m actually on a music scholarship at my school but I’m an engineering major.” · “I’ve been trying to read as much as possible. I’m really big on existentialism and that thought process.” · “I’ve been reading Notes From the Underground, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, he was one of the first real existentialist writers. I’m a real big fan of him” · “Existentialism is a philosophical thought process that in a sense there’s no 100% validity of the universe. Life is meaningless; it’s not meaningless in the sense that you can’t accomplish things and be happy but, you never know the bigger purpose.” · “…even if god does exists, it doesn’t matter because we don’t know how he affects us. We’ll never 100% truly know”

· “…It’s also taken very negative but, I think it’s positive because then you can make your life whatever you want it to be. You can create your own rules” · Frank Llyod Wright- integrating the architecture into existing space · “…why is life unfair? I know it’s unfair and I’ve accepted it but why are

· “I always sketch little prototype of things and try to build that idea.” · Inspiration: “Details. You can build something and it could be good but you want every part to have a purpose and be beautiful at the same time” · “…my dad is a nuclear engineer for TVA and my mom’s a real estate agent. I have the science from my dad and my mom’s ability to dissect things.” · Goal: “My goal now is to finish school but not let school kill me. And not just to get the grades and do theDSC_0015.JPG dirty work but to actually understand DSC_0014.JPG DSC_0016.JPG what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.”

· “…overall goal is to be happy, that’s always the biggest one”

“Reminds me of the gatoraid ad”

Finding other connotation within phrase Why are people different?

Different stances

Began experimenting with serif typefaces. The mood of a serif portrays differently than from a san serif.

Words appear as if he is listening to the quote instead of thinking. Monotone color makes the visual flat. Get rid of the circle.

SECOND ITERATION

#2 feedback: The bars seems to read as a social comentaray rather than his personality / emotive character. The stripes could be read as jail as his whole face is behind bars.

THIRD ITERATION

Revised portrait project: As I received feedback, I decided to change my portrait project. The design did not convay the personality of my inteviee, as it seemed like a social comentary more than a potrait. For this version, I was playing around with the quote â&#x20AC;&#x153;you can great our own rulesâ&#x20AC;?.I saw this graffiiti on the photo where my interviee was standing and it related to quote. The whole mentality of breaking the rules and doing something new represents Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personality. I really liked the idea of taking things and adjusting it, making it your own. I felt like by cutting up the photos into fragments was not doing the coventinal way and adds a sense of mystery in getting through to know this person.

PROJECT BRIEF/ The problem: In 2010, social networking is limited to Facebook. Sub-problems: -How can we look past Facebook? -Facebook is digital, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look past a computer screen? -Facebook is not supplying enough interactivity -The limitation of interaction through a computer screen -Building communities with similar interests, using current and upcoming technology -People not using for its intended purpose -Facebook purpose: to enhance interaction, not replace it Project question: How can social networking go beyond a computer screen? --------------------------The problem: Social networking has negative connotations. Sub-problems: -People abusing the privilege -Spam and phishing -Psychologically aspect, question of ethics -the aspect of

anonymity and security

-stalking incidents

Project question: How can we distinguish whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate in the social networking realm?

As I developed this process furuther, I began to think about the context of facebook and how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important resource tool. This is a mind map showing what I think the most important feature of facebook is.

The form begins to take shape after I get a good sense of what I want to focus on (creating a brand new object or conceptualize over an existing object. the three main forms I’ve thought are /

THOUGHTS/ After reflecting on the forms, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to go with the watch form. Not only does it changed the way we communicate but it also is very convenient. The convince of the watch out ways a laptop or a phone; and the thought of having that close connecting with your friends at your fingertips makes the watch worthwhile. Now that I decided on the watch form, I will have to design the interface.

REVISED PROJECT BRIEF The problem: In 2010, digital social networking is limited to Facebook. Sub-problems: ·

Facebook is digital, can’t look past a computer screen

Facebook is not supplying enough interactivity

The limitation of interaction through a computer screen

Facebook purpose: to enhance interaction, not replace it

People not using Facebook for its intended purpose

People are fascinated with other people’s lives

Building communities with similar interests, using current and upcoming technology

People are interested in knowing what others are doing, status updates

Social networking is addicting

The ability to follow others are easier

Project question: How can digitally based social networking be just as engaging off a computer screen? What is the project about? This project is about redefining the way we could social network out of its original context (computer screen) - specifically using an alternative digital method, like tangible/ personal objects. Who is the audience? People who have interest in social networking and digital gadgets Of what value is the project to them? It allows others to connect with a specific group of people through a different medium What is your intention? entertain, redefine In what design forms could your project be realized? ·

A watch like form. People will be able to connect through this watch-like gadget by exchanging their special “code”. One can send messages/alerts to each other. Solar powerered

Digital bracelet with the functionality of socializing with others

Clip on receiver (can clip onto shirt/jacket/bag/etc) and then someone with a special device can comment about you or ask you questions, etc

Headphones integrating the ability to hear other updates through the headpiece. It would also somehow integrate a music playlist for others to see what you’re listening to, your interest in music genre, and see what others are listening to

Shoes that leaves imprints of your message. Update your status through a special device, then the bottom of the shoes will configure the message

Small toy-like digital camera. This will have no lcd on the back, delete nor see what the photos look like (similar to film camera). It will have a set number of exposures one can take before having to export the photos. When the camera is full, one must take it to one of the many kiosks around the city and upload the photos. The kiosk will be available for everyone to see.

Keeping my options open, room for exploration.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned a lot and grew throughout this semester. More than anything, I learned about myself and how I work, my working style, and how I interact with others. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned that time management is very important and something that should be taken seriously. I also learned that I very much enjoy design.
