How do we Handle a Book? And Ted Talk Research

Thinking about ways of bringing these systems to light
- wanting to see how people interact with a publication, even when there is no content.

Got Rosie to flick through an empty book to see where the contact points were:

Identifying the points of contact -------------------------------------------------------------

Representing these physically with stickers ----------------------------------------------

How could this manifest itself? Thinking about the way we relate to objects using our bodies?
The sense of touch is something that was highlighted in my poster on Friday, what could be done to enhance this?
I went to the print room to look into visuals and textures that could play with the senses.

^ Flocked paper, very soft texture, comes on sheets.

- This could be used on a poster or in a publication, wanting people to really interact and have their senses spark when using or seeing the work.

^ Foiling, a very obviously visual way of grabbing someone's attention could be used to highlight points we touch? Playing with this idea of reversing the senses to make you more aware of them?

^ Buckram, another tactile material that would make you realise the texture/feel is different.

All these examples are playing on sight and touch, two complex systems in themselves.
What would the content be and why?



Design for all 5 senses:

Jinsop Lee talks about the '5 senses theory'.
Lee presents this graph:

All experiences being marked on this graph.
- very personal
- different for everyone

The idea that design that incorporates more senses makes for a better project.
> The products Jinsop Lee hypothesises all make you aware of a sense that isn't normally highlighted.

Using "5 sense theory" as a way to evaluate life experience and incorporate this into design.

The first Secret to Great Design is Noticing:

'As human beings we get used to everyday things.'
eg. fruit stickers, they solved one problem but created another.
Removing a fruit sticker becomes passive over time, you become numb to it.
Why?
- Because our brains encode everyday things into habits to free up space to learn more = habituation.

Habituation can stop us noticing and fixing problems.
- what if i wanted to harness habituation in my projects, not to solve anything but to make you aware of the things you didn't realise you did?

'Try to see the world the way it really is. Not the way we think it is. Why? because it's easy to solve a problem almost everyone sees, but it's hard to solve a problem almost no one sees.'

"Staying beginners" - allowing you to see a project for the first time every time (some employed when Fadell worked at Apple).

How does this relate to project?
Wanting to make people notice the things that are habitual, shining light on processes you don't even realise are happening.

• Could have these touch points be covered in something we feel (flocking?) to make us notice what we're doing with out hands. TEST THIS TUESDAY (buy flocked paper)
• Could draw your eyes attention to where your hands go? Have text at these touch points in an effect (foiled?).

What would the content be? 

Why a book?

Taking this idea of placing text (where your eyes look) on the areas of the book your hands touch:

Pushing this further, presenting visuals, similar to the stickers alongside this:

Thinking of drawing the attention to what your hands are doing when they handle a book.
The content is a couple of quotes from a ted talk about design. Not sure why this as the content, is it relevant? Does it even need to be there?
