FYP 2 | Consultation

From the final contract that I submitted earlier, it seems to be like a giant installation booth. The coordination of the electronic item also not really well arranged. So Mr. Hafiz suggested me to reduce the size of my installation booth. With minor adjustment here and there, I got my final floorplan. It will be show in my next post. Less space more efficient. Simplicity!!

FYP 2 | proposal (finalize)

Research topic:
E-postcard

Theme:
Old story new media

Background:
Well known simple mailing messages concept, I turn up to change the idea of postal to email. Now day’s people being expose to internet technology, so the idea to create the E-postcard may save tons of paper. User may experience the new way of instant messaging.






















Problem Identification:
Postcard now days had been extinct from daily usage. In previous years, it had been use as simple message card for people. Now, instead of using email, people also use mobile phone to connect. By bring back the concept to new era, it still can be consider as most appropriate and convenient way to send message to each other.

Aim and objective:
To change mind-set of people (postcard is an old way to send message)
To bring back the idea and concept of postcard messaging (But in e-networking)

Motivation:
People get connected faster day by day.

Ideation and concept:
User must stand in-front of the screen. Create your own background by selected design in application. Body gesture will decide the pattern. Write your message onto the wall using selected icon and symbol in the application itself. A picture captured from the wall will be send directly to your friends email. Short messages like “I in class” or by using symbol that will be included in the installation may help user to send short messages to their friend.



Design Approach
- high quality vector images as background
- Simple, easy related icons to convey the messages.(created by my self)
