Here you find the pictures of the presentation that I, and the ones who used my camera, took. I didn’t set the shutter speed right it seemed, so some movements are blurred. Apologies for that! There will be more pictures available on the KISDphoto page soon from someone else. (under ‘Services’ at the top)

To do for Tuesday / Wednesday

Today: Update and fix your user stories. Remember – the user story has the purpose to communicate a dedicated “use” (and user experience) of your concept, the system and products you designed. No single step in the user story should be a commonplace, always tell what is special and important was the user experiences your concept and design.

Think of the requirement to make your concept and food “tangible”.

Tuesday: All bring your 2 posters (or more if you have more, the second poster shows additional material to make your concepts accessible) as paper printout, A3 or a stitched together A1 based on A3 to get a sense of the proportions. If you are a team, it is ok when only one of you joins the meeting, the other(s) can proceed working.

You have to print out your two posters in the CLAB that Tuesday in the afternoon before it closes for the KISD talk. So start printing around 3.3o latest

Look at your small A5 cards and look especially at the data. You remember, that one of the criteria of your work was and is ” to provide (useful, necessary, feasible and digestible) data and information about food/ingredients and farming products, make intelligent use of information and information technology”. So now as your idea of the concepts are fixed (due to time), please once again make up your mind and let us know which data is used and necessary to make your idea working – and which data is created for your concept and through its use. I have the feeling that you still take too much to be obvious…but it isn´t. mention it! Detailed, so if you write “Crop data of farmers” let us know which, if you write “Season products in Germany” write what that means etc.

All have your exhibition element built up and fixed so that we can arrange all of the single elements in space.

All have your artefacts and/or screens/digital prototypes ready to show and share.

What all of you are sharing are prototypes. Prototypes are used in the iterations of a design process to articulate assumptions or insights and to inform the design process and support reflection and critical inquiry. They are not used to sell your product. In general, be very aware if your prototypes and visualisations are designed for a schematic understanding (like a wireframe or function drawing etc.) or if it is a prototyping to be looked at formal questions (formal design parameters like colors, forms, proportions, sizes, movements, dialogues). This is a big difference, I gave comments on that to all of you today. All the works should come up with a design articulation / artefact / prototype that shows your ability to work with basic formal design parameters (like mentioned above).

Wednesday: 3 PM all have their exhibition contributions ready and we can all together walk around and have a short presentation of each group of 3-5 minutes (share the core ideas of your concept, guide us through your poster, share what is the most important aspect in your concept etc. to start a dialogue and q&a with your audience.

We are in the final phase and please dedicate all possible time now to make things happen! If there is anything unclear, let me know, if you need more feedback and help I am also around tomorrow afternoon!

Find the folders here. So I’ve been putting your content into the new poster template and the A5 factsheet. Now, I gave myself quite a challenge to try and put it in for you, aiming to maintain a unified form/feeling. 😉  Along the way, I have played around with your text, got out typo’s and changed things when I thought it didn’t make too much sense. I will give the template back to you now and you can add in your final user story and tweak the text accordingly. Look at the poster from the others and try to write some more if you are lacking text (Yasmine) and try to reduce when you have too much (Matea). For Maxime and Samia, I couldn’t get your body text in because it is vectorized, so please have a look and change that. For some, writing a precise and easy to read text is challenging, but words are important. Reread it a few times and ask peers whether what you have written makes sense! I don’t want any typo’s in the final presentation. 😀

The backside of the Poster, or your second poster, can be used freely with imagery and system map if you decide to show that.

For the factsheets, find yours in the template folder and tweak it if you want to. 

Kalia, I didn’t make your one as you didn’t post any poster but you can do that yourself when adding an extra page in Indesign, it gives you the ‘A-Master’ that you can access by clicking on the objects while holding shift and command.

Tomorrow, we can print the posters out in A3 to test it. The final posters can be printed on Tuesday on prof. Heidkamp’s budget! But only if they’re ready on Tuesday. 

A domani!
