Scrapbook

Representing 40 years of Interpretive Experience Design is a challenge akin to developing an exhibit itself: lots gets left on the cutting room floor. So, in going through the work, I found sketches, models, and images that, if nothing else record changing styles, tools, and exhibit techniques.

Also there are the stories, the long hours, hard work and hard play with unforgettable colleagues.

“Senior” designers remember the clack of the teletype, clunk of the fax machine, hand drafting, "type this letter for me please", the smell of a blueprint, Wordstar, Rubylith and Ziptone, one's first laptop (mine a Mac 150), and of course early CAD, database, and spreadsheet programs.

Now it’s “can you hear me?”, “I’ll upload it again" and “if we zhuzh this render, it’ll sell.”

But the process hasn’t really changed. Enjoy these early concept deliverables and results.
