Botnick Iterations - 4

http://www.scribd.com/doc/204817956/04-Retypo-Additions This one's not as cool as I wanted, but the addition of images seemed like an interesting way to add content and interest. I'm gonna go back to this.

Botnick Iterations - 2

http://www.scribd.com/doc/204817939/02-Original-Remap Rather than leaping directly into reconstructing the content, I decided to try and maintain the original writing and merely reformat. The way this answered 'legibility' was to clarify the concepts and ideas portrayed by the lecture, not so much my shoddy handwriting.

Ongoing Assignments #1 - The Botnick Iterations

// We're doing some weekly-ish projects for this course to keep us active while grinding away at the big thesis concept. They're open ended, and as such we need to make a proposal before working. This is the first. Problem statement: Reproduce the notes taken by Jackson Hill while attending Ken Botnick's lecture on Process given at the UIC Innovation Center on 1/24/2014 with the intent of legibility. Proposal: Ken Botnick's emphasis on the search for the delight in design runs pretty parallel to my thesis focus. His idea was that some design decisions exist solely for the purpose of the delight of the maker and the user. I would question how this element affects the response to a problem, such as the one presented. For this project I intend to answer this problem through design approximately ten times, with the goal of exploring solutions that find delight in different ways. While the problem itself is quite straightforward, it could be answered in a large variety of ways, and in exploring many solutions I hope to find trends that can be pinpointed as 'work', 'play', or otherwise.
