Since I started working in Designit, a Europe’s design consultancy, it has been a long time without any update here. Because most new works are not allowed to share recently.
This is a video I made to introduce a very cool and young company – Loxal which is founded in New York by my friends. It is about the local merchant and its loyal customers. Loxal is a web-based platform that facilitates the creation and management of loyalty programs by small and mid-size merchants.
It takes around 50 hours including amending the script and discussion with my friend. I appreciate this chance to practice my AE skills and enjoy the freelance working experience. Maybe I should try more?
I thought it would be good to share some work I have been doing last month. We had a 5 weeks prototyping experience course which brought a lot of fun to us. Here is one interesting result I made at the end of the second week. I named this prototyping X-ray Box and you can find the documentation at the end of this post to explain how I made it.
I was playing with paper and shadows, since i did not get to do that before. I would like to try how it looks in stop motion. And I also got some inspiration from Julien Vallee ‘s work.
limited by the time, Erik and I made the rough version of the interaction design jingle can be found here.
I have been asked about these questions below a lot of times, even at the beginning of this semester.
What is interaction design(IxD)? What is the different between product design and IxD?
Mike, our former programme director answered these questions in a pretty clear way.
Product design focuses on user, emphasis on “use”, so product is the mediator; IXD focuses on “person”, emphasis on “social practice”, and technology is the mediator.
That’s why interaction designers don’t make physical products mostly. Their design which is much wider than product can be a web, a method, a service, etc.
It’s a two days exercise we had been exploring the effects of combining sensory experience, in this case sound and imagery. We had been asked to play with the juxtaposition of sound and imagery to study how the total experience is altered when different sounds or music are added to a sequence of images.
In this first exercise, I worked with Erik and John to create this short video which was made in After Effects to show how sounds and music effect people’s emotion.

In this place, I would like to share my design minds and collect posts that affects me on internet.
