I just got back from a long vacation in the Bahamas, I take one about every 4 months, I love it there. My husband and I are constantly on the move, we have lived in 6 places in the last 3 years. We’re both always so busy. I’d like to have more time to read my blog posts, but the apps that I’ve tried always seem to complex.
Scope
- Design the interface for a web-based guide to the foreclosure process.
- Based off Empire Justice Center's PDF Guide
- The application will be hosted on the web, as a web site.
- Design how this site will look and feel.
Scope pt 2
- Sketch for Mobile sized screens, not desktops.
- This is not an install-able web app (App store etc), but that doesn't mean it can't look like one.
- While no idea should be considered "too crazy," it may not fit in the timeline you have to develop this project.
Rounds have 3 phases
Sketch
Pitch
Critique
Then you iterate
Stealing encouraged
Round 2
Pair up teams of two, or three
Repeat
Then the entire team comes up with a design, and the other teams can critique.
