My work featured in
Computer Arts Projects magazine

Computer Arts Projects’ "Design for the Web" (issue 153) ran a two-page feature on a website for foursquare called "I Voted", for which I designed the GUI for. The article covers an interview with (at that time) fellow JESS3 designer Robin Richards who designed the site architecture & wireframes, and also the project manager at foursquare; Eric Friedman.

Richards says: "Everything had to be clean and clear so that the user understood the design, making for a fun and enjoyable experience reflecting the identity of foursquare."

Friedman says: "The site turned out better than we imagined it would and we were extremely happy with the result… By showing visually that every vote counts, we were able to inspire how people make a difference in an election."

Below is the article as it appeared in the magazine…

LIVESTRONG
Cancer Guide & Tracker
iPad app

Agency.

Bolster Labs (USA)

Client.

LIVESTRONG

Project.

An innovative iPad app to help cancer survivors, patients and their families, at every stage of the cancer. The app is a digital extension of LIVESTRONG‘s existing Guidebook and Planner & Journal documents that offer useful advice, support and information. Predominantly, in it’s new interactive capacity it acts as a ‘tracker’ allowing the user to track everything from their symptoms, to their treatment plans, medication, appointments, keep track of important financial information, budgets, contacts and record a journal. It’s a truly great and innovative app to help cancer patients, survivors and their families.

Involvement.

Design of all screens and scenarios.

Personal note.

This project is particularly personal to me. In a cruel, yet ironic twist of fate, I lost my Dad to a very short battle with an aggressive cancer, only a couple of months before starting on this project. It was devastating. So this project was particularly hard, but ultimately rewarding to work on.

Organisations like LIVESTRONG do great things, so wear your yellow wristband’s, spread their good word and please support them where you can.
