In the winter of 2014, 10 students from Southern Oregon University’s Emerging Media and Digital Arts practicum class worked alongside the Rogue Hack Lab on a campaign to generate buzz for RHL’s annual presence at Tinkerfest (May 24 & 25 at ScienceWorks).

The students combined interdisciplinary talents on the campaign entitled: The Road to Tinkerfest. The campaign consisted of several components:

A series of 6 webisodes highlighting different members, topics, and activities

A social media campaign to strategically draw attention to the video episode release

A transmedia alternate reality game consisting of printed and video puzzle clues along with a Tinker Device web application for steering the scavenger hunt

A single page web hub containing a video player, a single access point to RHL’s social media presence, general lab information, and Tinkerfest event information.

The sketcher becomes the center of power. The person holding the pen can choose what to sketch, how to envision it, what priority to give it, and the way it connects to other elements. In politically challenging situations, the power of this role lasts long after the sketch is finished because the sketch remains.

Jon Kolko describes the unique role that hand-sketching plays in the idea development process as well as the relationship between you and your client.

Next time you're with a client, try drawing something with them even if you're not entirely confident in your abilities. It's a great way to engage.
