Description

Design design design!

Hi travelers,

We settled on a concept! It has the working title Wait. Think! and we think it will be great. The direction of the assignment has changed somewhat, and we’re now working on a concept that helps people pass their time on a station while giving people important information about safety on railway platforms. Did you see this clip, by any chance? That’s the kind of thing we’re talking about!

In short: We are creating a media object that uses big screens on a platform in combination with personal screens like smart phones to make people aware of safety issues, while getting a fun and informing experience out of it. To accomplish this we’ve been doing technical and visual design, we’ve made paper prototypes, created prototypes and put together a moodboard. And more stuff. These two weeks we’re also doing working sessions together with ProRail, and are really working together on the project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At this moment we’re in the middle of creating a video for the platform screens and working on creating a working testversion of our app, which means that a storyboard is being drawn on my left, and Adobe Fireworks is being used on my right. Shortly we’ll start doing user testing, which is one of the most exciting phases. How will people respond to our concept? What will we have to improve? Will it work as we thought it would? Will the message we’re trying to send across be clear? Starting next week we plan on starting out tests, so we will have to work hard the next few days to get everything done on time. This week we’re talking with an animator and a programmer to help finish our first prototypes!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amidst all of the hard work that is being done over here, a little fun is never far away. Every once in a while we go out to kick a ball around, and play an old-fashioned game of ‘lummelen’. It’s been a while.

Last but not least, Gionata would like to say hi to his mom. Hi mom!
