DP: Q & Assumptions + Storyboard

ASSUMPTIONS
-These two communities would never be able to get along if I-35 were taken out.
-The values of Westside residents are heavily influenced by previous generations. (grandfathers and fathers)
-The Westside and the Crossroads are the only communities affected by this project.
-No voice from either community is heard or important.




QUESTIONS
-How long have you lived in the Crossroads|Westside?
-Do you like living in this neighborhood? Why?
-Do you know about Project Interchange?
-How do you feel about Project Interchange? the possible removal of I-35 from your neighborhood?
-Is there an option you would better prefer? (Option 1, 2 or 3)
-Do you work in the area? Where? Do you think that will change the flow of business?
-Do you feel you have a voice in this matter?
-If there was an open space (removal of I-35) what do you invision taking its place? (Business area | park | garden)
-Would you like to be documented/contacted to voice more of your opinion?



STORYBOARD

One of my goals is to sort of document each community and find out basically what makes each community, a community. What makes the Westside, Westside, and what makes the Crossroads, the Crossroads? Many things can make up this word “community”, but only the residents and businesses within them can create it. At this point, I am thinking of documenting these communities through video, photography, and various information artifacts.

DP: A beginning


Currently, my process book for my degree project is 8"x10", vertical. When my process book is finished at the end of this 13 week period, I plan to use blurb.com to produce it. The layout right now allows for personal comments and thoughts in the small caption area, a nice wide body paragraph allowing for deep explanation of the project and critiques (set in Futura, a font appropriate for technological subject matters), a header (set in Trade Gothic), a subhead (set in Orator - a nice "techy" contrast font, and spot for the date, some folios, and a grid structure for any accompanying photos.

Experiments and Solutions

MOTION PIECE/ANIMATION
I would really like to fine tune my skill set in the area of motion. I am entertaining the idea of learning/working with After Effects to create a piece that highlights the functionality of the technology.

POSTERS/INFORMATION DESIGN/INFOGRAPHICS
I want to create some sweet informational posters and possibly infographics. Seeming as how this project has the potential to be very technical due to the subject matter, I think some nice organized beautiful informational posters would be great, even as a quick reference.

IDENTITY
Maybe I could create an identity for a company/person/blog/website/online community that allows people to share and collaborate their innovative solutions. These solutions could be a different use for a type of technology or just a new innovative design that impacts people.

QUESTIONNAIRE
In three words, describe technology.
How much of your life is filled with technology?
Do you think some of these areas/technological artifacts could be improved?
