Rearrangement Of Labels & Post Titles

For better documentation purpose, I made some rearrangement to the blog labels & post titles. Some changes are:
  1. Add "[Week #]" in front of every blog post for weekly assignments. # stands for week number. For example, "[Week 5] Creativity".
  2. Two fixed labels for assignments/project are "Weekly Assignments" and "Project". They are located at the top of the right column.
  3. Each post can have multiple labels. For assignment/project posts, other than the two fixed labels, more can be added based on the content of the post. All labels by content can be found at the right column, the second from top.
That's all for now.

[Week 5] Trip to umeå





These pictures are from a short weekend in Umeå, a small city in the north of Sweden. Umeå has an amazing winter landscape and it was easy to feel creative and imaginative. The winter landscape express new colors, shapes and patterns which inspired me.









[Week 5] Creativity

These pictures are from my latest trip to Barcelona. My sketches reminds me of the memories, the coffee i had and the people i saw. The three later pictures are from a notebook i bought which consists of sketches/drawings by others. The last one gives a creative, figurative example of how we pollute our cities :)

Project

During the course we will document our progress with developing and/or improving a dysfunctional product. This work will include a usability analysis and a design proposal that solves the detected problems. The work will hopefully be well documented here in this blog and indicate our progress in learning interaction design. It will also test the ideas and methods we learn to develop better and more usable products.

[Week 5] Creativity Intro

This weeks assignment includes documenting creativity, observations and signs of creativity. This will appear as posts of i.e. ideas for creativity and how to become more creative. Inspiring pictures and tools for creativity, inspiring words or people we meet, some of this might show up in a near future. =) Stay put!
