I had to put some of this work on hiatus this week. I was involved putting together Macquarium’s company meeting presentation this week that consisted entirely of custom graphics and a slew of last minute work. Major time crunch, but it was a good opportunity for me to take the lead on a big project and put together a pretty nice portfolio piece. It had a fun theme with a ton of good imagery to play with and all in all, it came out exactly the way I envisioned it. Nice chance for me to push my previous design limits and take it to the next level.
In the meantime…
Mind-Full morning data collection is still in progress. I didn’t totally fathom the fact that individual data collection would be somewhat difficult. I have a decent amount of participants, but I could definitely use a few more. Nathan Yau, of FlowingData, suggested using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to gather more participants, although it does cost a small fee. I did this and have gotten a few participants through that. It’s definitely a cool service, and would be beneficial as last option participants – I don’t really want to have to pay a ton of $$$ for data, especially for smaller prototypes.
