Exhibiting: THE POETRY OF ACTION

  Envisioning Information: Edward R. Tufte.

This reading covered a variety of design strategies that help sharpen information on paper or video screens. Methods that’s were used contributed to different dimensions and plane surfaces that are represented and the density of these data. Disrespect for audience can and will leak through and therefore damaging communication. It should be clear and simple, easy to read. Unequal intervals of spacing, whitespace in design forces attention towards the intentions that almost create unity within the whole piece.

Notes on Design research and brainstorming:

 What to look for & how to record them:

Focus on things that are important to specific activities and environment spaces that activities are held, interaction between people and objects as well as spaces.

Using Hunt statements- a design tool to help narrow down research and be able to back it up with a “why”

 Patterns and Phenomena:

Main thing to look for are patterns whether behavior, stories or actions/ ideas that reoccur. There are simple rules to identify the differences between a pattern and phenomena. Phenomena are also interesting as well under unusual behaviours or methods of working

1. See or hear it once = Phenomena. Write it down.

2. See or hear it twice = coincidence or pattern emerging. Write it down.

3. See or hear it three times = It’s a Pattern. Write it down.

Field notes:

Recorded: Name of researcher/Day/time & place where research is taking place.

Helpful for later when comes to referencing.

Other important stuff: Exact quotes and tone, sketches of location along with comments and details.

 As designers we need to shape and give meaning to the data we collect or else it will be useless.

final study

for my final study i combined the use of the knife to cut and the heat gun to show the transition through the material.
