trends in prototyping

A nice article by Dave Cronin on “Industry trends in prototyping” and work around in different scenarios.

There are various reasons for creating prototypes.

  • Prototypes make your designs better
  • Prototypes facilitate communication
  • Prototypes enable user input and usability assessment
  • Prototypes help assess technical feasibility and reduce development time

“Call it serendipity or even luck, but once you start drawing or making things, you open up new possibilities of discovery.”

The World’s Best Gadget Designers Speak in “Objectified”

[kml_flashembed movie=”http://www.youtube.com/v/S9E2D2PaIcI” height=”344″ width=”425″ menu=”false” /]

Just found this very intresting film “Objectified” which is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. It’s about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them.

And in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?

LG Japan shows off phone design concept winners, cool concepts :)

During the recent Tokyo Designers Week event, LG Japan displayed the winning concept phones of their Mobile Design Contest. Have a look in to these cool concepts which may be upcoming future phones and how they are emotionally attached with our daily life style and uses. I really like the concept of braile phone model “fbt” which featured a braille keypad, while the entire back of the phone does double-duty as a braille display and keypad. Users can send and receive text messages in braille.

wow 🙂
