Augmented Kanji

I'm a Media Lab MA'07 student,

  

looking for those glass mirrors
and other contemporary mazes
of design, and other things.
Nice meeting you all. 

  

I attended this workshop once before, in Lahti, 2007. The topic was 'memes' (experimental typography).

 

The brief (active link)

Conceptual graph - Augmented Kanji

Conceptual graph - Augmented Kanji
 
Started building a concept map around the 1st draft of my brief. I'm using the Graph library in NodeBox to insert elements from my design manually, and styling them in different colors and weights according to their type. Classification was difficult. I ended up with the following ...
 
[conceptual--element--feature--description--input--memo--hilite--note]
  

ConceptNet, ok

The conceptual network made with the Graph library in NodeBox, is now ready for printing. It maps the central themes of my brainstorming phase, and some of those features I will try to develop into a prototype.

Before moving on from here, I want to dedicate some time to reading the John Chris Jones book about Design Methods ...

Some ideas and developments

Ok, so I'm trying to keep a log book about my process (following the ideas in the book 'Design Methods')

 

my NB libraries

my NB libraries

... just to remember the libraries I have available
 
Photobot is for harvesting images
wordnet creates the association networks,
 (and it has an absurd story -option for creating stories from the keyword)
and so on..

John Chris Jones

John Chris Jones ........
An excellent book (so I've been told) on the design process. It's reading material for the Media Lab course on Design Research. My next step is to harvest his text for soul food, and apply some of the methods in the book in my workshop results thingy.
