We’re done! The final presentations were on wednesday, and it was great. People from the creative industries showed up, experts in the field, teachers, students, our assigners, friends and family… it was a full house! It was great to see everyone tell about the projects they had been working on the last half a year, […]

The documents

Over the last months we have been working on documenting the process we’re going through. The documents are: Research, Concept, Design, Prototyping and testing and Final. We wanted to make these documents fit together, so here are the covers for the WAIT.THINK! documents. The covers represent the progress in the project, starting out with a […]

Almost done…

Did […]

Concepting

Hey everyone! Autumn break? Nah. We’re hard at work, finishing off three of our concepts. We’re presenting these brand-new-just-out-of-the-box ideas to ProRail next monday, and the idea is that they’ll choose one of our concepts for us to develop. There was writing, scribbling, drawing, sketching, folding, gluing, lining, brainstorming, storyboarding, and there has even been word of […]

Platformedia magazine

Good afternoon, viewers! Our research magazine is here, and we’re the proudest of parents. We presented our findings to ProRail yesterday, which resulted in an interesting and fun meeting.

It’s […]
