For the prepositions, it would be good to look at the variations for each of the prepositions that have multiple meanings, such as to or of. Otherwise, what else should be added? Is it possible to provide an evaluation? We already have a rudimentary analysis for the prepositions and the types of prepositions. Is there… Continue reading Preposition Use with the Design Process

The blonde hair clings to the finger like a struggling inch worm. Beneath, an abyss that opens to ingest the tenuous hair. Strands and bands that mark the time of life and change. Why stand and allow the morphing world to surround me then become like air that I can take in and release, leaving… Continue reading Free Association

The wallpapered walls frame the backyard, a seeming diorama. The cased opening cuts like a guillotine, and the small enclosed room is the afterlife, removed from work and the day to day activities. The room turns abruptly to the left, and the couch stands witness to the events on the television that is held in… Continue reading Den

But, throughout the day, there is quite a bit of commotion. We can augment this or counter it with our sensory design. We will assume a zone in the waiting area… Continue reading Sensory Example 2

Doctor’s office needs a design to calm patients with touch, smell, or hearing. In this example we understand the location as an office or institutional-like space with seating, hard surfaces, and a staff that can be removed from the patients. The senses selected can have different solutions, and a combination of the chosen senses is… Continue reading Sensory Example 1

When designing with senses, do not use vision to start out. Instead, start with another sense. Because of vision’s preference by most users, it is too easy to fall into a game of imagery and light. Hearing is a safe first option, but don’t be afraid of touch and smell. Taste may be somewhat exotic,… Continue reading Upcoming Sensory Design Examples

As with other senses, it is best to start with no or minimal sound and build up. One of the beautiful things about sound is that it can describe three-dimensional space and directionality.… Continue reading Hearing Sense Overview III
