DESIGNING FOR PARTICIPATION

project idea

Thesis R&D milestone 2 // Lisa Woods CCA MFA Design, November 19, 2012

Heroes are larger than life.

We need heroes because they shape our aspirations.

Heroes symbolize the qualities we wish to possess and the pinnacles we wish to reach.

Yet despite all of their power to influence us, we’re the ones who choose them.

Most of us have many heroes throughout our lives. Sometimes we outgrow them

and sometimes we surpass them.

Through a participatory project, I’m interested in uncovering our program’s creative heroes, displaying them, and interacting with the stories around them in an engaging and ‘monumental’ way.

H ER OE SP R O J E C T

The Heroes Project is an online platform, an interactive installation, and an iPad app.

CONCEPT

Step 1 : Submit your hero stories and images via a questionnaire.

STEFAN SAGMEISTER

HOW IT WORKS

CAN YOU IMAGINE PULLING A STUNT LIKE THIS? THE BALLS ON THIS GUY!! SAGMEISTER KEEPS ME ASKING MYSELF HOW OUT THERE I CAN PUT MYSELF...

SAGMEISTER IS A BAD ASS AT SELF PROMOTION. IN THIS WORLD OF OUTSOURCING AND FORGETTABLE NO-NAME DESIGNERS, HE’S A BRAND SYNONYMOUS WITH BEING PROVOCATIVE AND OBSESSIVE.

I CAME ACROSS WORK BY GRAPHIC DESIGNER STEFAN SAGMEISTER IN HIGH SCHOOL AND BECAME INTERESTED WITH HIS INTRICATELY MADE AND CLEVERLY THOUGHT OUT BOOKS. THIS IMAGE IS THE COVER ART FOR ‘MADE YOU LOOK.’

STEFAN’S ADVENTUROUS TYPOG-RAPHY IS ALWAYS AMAZING TO ME. HIS USE OF MATERIALS AND HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL. MANY OF HIS IDEAS COME FROM HIS NOTEBOOKS. SO I’VE BECOME DILIGENT ABOUT KEEPING ONE TOO.

Step 2 : A multi-faceted hero portrait is created

Step 3 : It is animated with submitted content and made interactive
