A blog about Gene's work / daily observations / and other stuff. http://www.genelu.com Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:52:54 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.genelu.com/images/M_images/ http://www.genelu.com A blog about Gene's work / daily observations / and other stuff. http://www.genelu.com/content/view/200/13/ (content/view/200/1/) As some of you may already know, I head the design and user experience at Dramafever (http://dramafever.com) and we're constantly working to make the site more enjoyable through improved usability, design, and all that other good stuff. Recently, we've tweaked the history section of the user profile site. Here's a brief look at the redesign process (content/view/200/1/).

Enjoy!

After another night of brainstorming with the team, we came up with the Airloom, a device that passively records conversations and photographs family members around the dinner table.

The only differences are form and interaction. MFA IxD - Prototyping User Experiences Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:13:25 +0100
