One month left in the semester...
As we start winding down the semester (although some members of our studio don't even want those words uttered) we are finally getting to the points in our projects where we start making/doing/building things. After many weeks of research, interviews, and sifting through information to filtered analysis we are moving into the building/designing phase of our projects. This is the time when we implement our prototypes and start making changes to them based on what works. Although this phase can be scary because of the need to finally commit to a direction and take the plunge, it can also be very satisfying when you see that something you've designed actually works. In many cases what the teams are making or building isn't a tangible thing, but a system or an event or a visualization that helps our clients make sense of the problem they are facing. In any case it's just a few short weeks until this phase will be over and we will be spending most of our time documenting what we've done and preparing for our final crits.
