accessos is the second workshop of the 2008 I-Design Master. During this Investigation students will refine their skills and knowledge in visual design, information architecture and information visualization with particular respect to interface design. The scheme comprises two distinct threads of activities, to sharpen basics skills in GUI design the firsts and to develop a major project the seconds.
RESEARCH | Students are required to undertake an extensive research on emerging novel paradigms in interface design. Teams working on the project will be carrying out a broad-spectrum research, collecting visual as well as other reference materials for creating a repository of successful strategies for organizing, visualizing and accessing to contents. The phase will culminate in a benchmarking exercise that, subsequently to a sedimentation of the research findings, will synthetically provide a reasoned palette of solutions for different Graphic User Interface requirements.
CONCEPT GENERATION | Teams will engage in an iterative Concept Generation Process, aimed at exploring the integration of novel interaction paradigms. The objective will be developing a set of proposals for a coherent Operative System interface addressing a specific target context [workstation for professional use].
RENDERING | Once validated, the concept will eventually lead to a rendering phase, during which Teams will be finalizing their work by providing a simulation of the OS environment envisioned, by setting the standards for each one of their design solution and by providing all the documentation required.
