  • Exploring the different tools, looked at some online timeline tools for example
  • Useful when you are designing to be able to zoom in and then out again - google earth as an analogy
  • Common everyday tools can also be useful to visualise designs - such as Powerpoint or Prezi, etc.
  • Visualise the design in different ways useful, people work in different ways need to see that.

Some things our group talked about:

  • need to be able to zoom in and out of design to see big picture (google earth analogy)
  • use of every day tools such as PPT, preso, Word doc
  • value of seeing design in different ways i.e.some people like visual, others prefer linear.  Can help you to see things that you may not have noticed
