Day 12 in South Korea
◦ SNU Final Workshop
◦ Slowalk Company Tour
August 24th, 2017
Today, we went to Seoul National University for the last time to finish our projects. Our team was divided up even more amongst the UW and SNU students. After much deliberation and talk, we came up with a dashboard in which finding housing in Seattle or Seoul would be possible. The final design is shown above. We decided to include a map screen in which the location markers could be seen of which housing were available (all of the prototypes we each made had this feature). The location you can change manually as well as your top 5 priorities, but the basic ones are the ones we deemed most important. You can also add filters to make your search more in-depth. The graph lines connecting each of the filters indicates which housing matches your priorities best, with the most important priorities at the top and the lines most to the right the best choices. It was interesting to see how the Korean students put the max and minimum choices for each filter because in America, we usually put the minimum on the left and the max on the right, but they did it the other way. Perhaps it is a cultural difference, or they are just used to putting the max limits on the left side. I am not sure. It was interesting nonetheless and we put out a great presentation.
Later that day, we also went on to tour Slowalk, a design firm. They specialize in designing websites as well as company logos. Their projects can take up to months to complete as it goes through a big process such as researching and implementation. The end results are usually swell and customers are happy. We also went on a tour of their office which was one half of the top floor, the other half spilt between other companies.
So today wasn't as busy as out other days, after hearing a seminar from Matthew at Kyung-Hee University (btw it was out last day there) we decided to head to SloWalk, a design firm and web development company that works with certain clients such as Non-Profits and NGO. Most of their projects aim to help social impacts such as the environment and other social changes. The company was located in Jongro in a small building, and when we entered their office space, it was rather small, it may be due to the fact that they only had 30 employees. As someone who has a interest in Web development it was interesting too see and hear, how much work are put into these website. the thought, time and effort that is put in to create a website for a client is uncanny. The head web developer told us that he would put up hours and hours of creating the perfect website for their client. Slowalk philosophy is the client is always first and the second rule they go but to enjoy yourself.
After the site visit we took the charter bus back home and decided to take our journey to Hoegi where out group went out and ate korean chinese food. When we sat down we noticed that the price was quite expensive, so we assumed that the quantity of food was going to be great, and we were sure right. Good thing we didnt order two serving or all of us would have been struggling to finish the food.
Now here i am in the at the Flower and Coffee cafe a couple block from Hotel Unique writing this blog.

I love seeing the brainstorming process. Visiting slowalk was one of my favorite experiences here in South Korea. #latergram #slowalk (at Slowalk)
텀블벅에서 안녕구름비 달력프로젝트에 작은 힘을 보탰다. 부끄럽다. 내가 사랑하는 제주를 위해 도대체 나 자신은 무얼 하고 있는걸까..... 제주에서 디자인을 고민하는 1인으로써 Slowalk에 무한한 고마움을 전한다. 큰 빚을 진 기분이다.
