The design of this application is governed by:

Workflow organization:

Enhancing effectiveness & efficiency in the service of the user. Toward this, I have determined a typical workflow of current practice among users through my initial user survey. I will identify areas of back-and-forth, excise ( like remembering which pictures have been transferred to the computer), inability to find files, duplication of jobs ( such as emailing a set of pictures to X & Y, after 4 days emailing the same to A & B).

Data Visualization & Information display:

Explore new ways of pairing & showing information that proves exciting & rewarding to the user's tasks. I also explore the idea of spatial & time-based display of information. Navigation will follow rules of perspective, a concept every architect is familiar with: therefore current selections will advance while others recede; concepts of scale & visibility, so that current items are larger & brighter, while other information is smaller & fainter.

Richer Communication:

Explore richer means of communication, discussion among user groups.

Narrative:

Explore how narrative can be brought in to play, while not losing sight of user goals. Architecture is a combination of science & art. How can this application provide the necessary balance of tensions between the two.
