During the game we will play a simulation on the design practice. Ever thought that a designer is just creatively making things? Ever thought it is something your little brother can do without thinking? Or is it more complex than that? You will find out in this game.
A new organization wants to start a
theme parkfor kids until 80 years old, based on general science. It can best be compared to a mix of the Museon, Nemo, Naturalis and the Efteling.The organization needs an identity for two different purposes:
- To identify the project itself. In the coming year investors, cities, school and all other potential participants must become aware of the project. They must be convinced that it is worth the effort.
- To identify the event to the main target groups: schools, parents and children.
The assignment is to design an identity that will fill both needs. There is no name yet. Choosing the right name is also part of the assignment and thus it can be influenced by the shape and typographic attributes of the word.
The identity must contain a set of basis elements that will create the an experience of recognition. A well choosen set of examples must show that the system works.
De naam is info [afkorting voor informatie] enzo
ineengeschoven. Het is kort, bondig en ligt goed in het gehoor. Het logo is een combinatie van de letters van de naam en refereert tevens naar het informatiesymbool (??).

Een cursus over programmeren in Python met DrawBot als ontwikkelomgeving.
Een klein programmatje dat Casper en ik hebben geschreven tijdens één van de Pythonlessen. Het genereerd een visitekaartje voor Casper óf mijzelf, met een toepasselijke titel en portret (waarvan de posities in het canvas variabel doch beperkt zijn).
