Respecting to the brief
When you are a young designer and you have to design something that has to be more things contemporary it is very hard to not lost yourself and to design something both interesting and complete. For this, it is very important establishing a time for the brainstorming session and after that, with your brief in the hand, start analyzing your ideas to summarize them into a final great idea.
Let’s test things!
Another important thing that we have understood is that you can’t know if what you are designing is a good idea until you try it. Many times you image things in your mind that seem to be great ideas and then, when you physically see it, you find a lot of both technological and designing problems. For instance, just trying to change the webcam position or the color of the fabric for the projection you can decide what is better for your project. We have understood how important is trying the times of interaction to design something gratifying for the user’s experience.
About prototyping
When you have to make a prototype you have to analyze: 1- the time that you have; 2- the space where to build it; 3- your budget; 4- the time to get all the materials (and where to find them). It’s very important to build a prototype to test both the visual design, the technology and the interaction. Just with a draft prototype you can test the technology, then, if it works, you can improve the prototype to give and idea of the mood and the visual quality of the real installation.
