Publication

First associations and brainstorming on user groups and assigned contexts within class, trying to find differences and connecting elements

Notes and discussions on visualizing and metaphors

Context is a frame, same toy placed in different context can attract different users (collectible figures in kindergarten - kid's toy, in antiques store - valuable collectible, in museum - valuable piece of art)

Metaphor examples: double diamond, Maslow's pyramid, Donut economy, etc

Brainstorming and metaphors I came up with:
1) Colors represent music: Red - aggressive, Blue - calm, etc
2) Shapes sorting toy as a visual metaphor: different shapes represent different styles/types of music: is the shape sharp? Is it a rectangle with sharp corners? maybe its a smooth sphere?

Conclusions and first ideas of interfaces depending on class material and visual metaphors:Colorful interactive mat, shape sorter, Stem player

Further, individual my and Sophie's research

User stories: As a ......... I want to ........... so that ...........

Note: try to specify the user and contexts, choose the best ones

Visualizing the idea on in-class and individual (in-group) research
