#wotisabook

In the beginning, I was extremely confused and not enjoying the course too much as I felt it was moving quite slow. However, I started to really love the course when it came to prototyping, creating and essentially just going crazy with weird and whacky ideas - so much fun. I also found it to be nice in a design course, being encouraged to create things not just using computers sometimes - its quite refreshing. 

I found it enlightening to have gained a greater understanding of the Post-Digital society of which we are living in (and which we will be living in forever... what a weird thought.) This course has also given me a great discussion to have with my parents, friends and people who aren't aware of the concept. Especially when I explained the idea of the game... they were very curious then.

Cassette Book

Don’t trust what you see, don’t judge by the cover.

Want to be the spotlight on the street? Try this wearable cassette book! The book itself comes with an audio cassette and player hidden in its middle. Attached with a bag handle, depending on your preference, you have the choice to convert it into a fashion item. The cover made with holographic transparent waterproof leather fabric. Vibrant colour makes it futuristic, fun and eye-catching, especially for those cool kids who love fashion.

The idea of my post-digital book was inspired by a product designer – Radhika Seth, who made an item with two different uses. This inspired me to make something crazy and think outside the book!

29/5 – Presentation & showcase

Today is showcasing our 3 months of hard work to the class and others. It is so exciting to see other concepts and everything is working really well. I would say some concepts is thinking outside the box and draw your attention pretty well. There are publication, video, broadcast, etc. Each project has its own feature and strong concept behind of what post-digital should be.

I have a good understanding of what post-digital is from this whole project, I have also learnt from some case studies of how to produce different methods to show/ express post-digital. 

26/5 – Final result!
