development

having reached the end of my research and investigation phase Douceurs is now progressing into the development stage. again, the development will be documented on this blog daily.

thinking of what this stage will involve for me...further development as a designer. working with user groups in a different manner - testing and discussing concepts ideas. iteration of concepts. continual justification of 'people' influencing ideas. designing a testing program to evolve and develop any technology. developing my business case. increasing commercial viability. branding. costings.

consistent- consolidation- testing - visual references.

a aspect of technology that has been really interesting to work with, very simple but effective in terms of achieving the new level of 'personal- ness' i am hoping to achieve through douceurs.

the product is made of a wacom table and a stylus.







It allows the user to send emails such as this:


many people , who are not comfortable typing with keyboards, use these tablets for writing essays etc. others use it for graphic design and drawing etc. using the tablet takes a little getting used to - when used like a normal pen and pencil it works perfectly. when you are conscious of the technology involved and where you are placing the 'pen' things don't work so smoothly.

concepts are funny little things. sometimes they comes in twos and threes. and sometimes they take a little holiday. however, i am going to elaborate on my concept ideas, good or bad.

this idea is about visually viewing letters, notes and hand written keep sakes in an beautiful object.




this book contains photographs of hand written notes flat mates have sent to each other.

i shall put up some pictures when it arrives.
