Flossing Teeth 101 - Instructional Design

This was for a project assigned in one of my classes. We were focusing on instructional design. I was to design a set of instructions for flossing your teeth. I choose to make my instructions for an audience of ages 16-40. I used all vectorized images for clarity. The specialty of these instructions is that they are adhesive and are meant to be placed on a mirror. This way it is convenient to read while flossing your teeth. The steps are also modular, so you can easily arrange them in any form. I also worked on product design with this project. I designed the packaging with the idea in mind that it would be something a dentist would give away at their office.

Flash Representation of Symbols

This is an interactive assignment that displays some of the symbols I created in a previous assignment. The object of the assignment was to demonstrate a knowledge of flash while displaying the methodology of the creation of our final symbol. My concept was to mimic the space theme of my symbols. The symbols fly in at different directions like objects floating in space. Once you click the space green button, the following symbols are the iterations of the previous symbol, which come out in an asteroid like pattern, ending in the final symbol.

Cognative Map

For this project, we were to design a map for what we were thinking. I chose to do a 3-Dimensional box that represented my mind. You would view through the slot seeing everything inside my mind. The items in the front where the ones I thought about most, the ones farther back were things I was not as focused on.

Perceptual Map

This is the second map in my project, the perceptual map. In this map, I was to emphasize the difference senses I perceived on my journey. I used a video to showcase what I saw, heard, felt, and smelled on my journey. The video follows my exact path of travel from my room to my first class. The sound changes to reflect the texture of the surface I am walking on. There are also different sounds for what I hear on my journey. Smell is represented through symbols and the cloud of smell that I walk through. I hoped to present my journey in a way that my audience could perceive the same senses I do by experiencing my same journey.

Artifact Map

This is the first map of a three part project.
In this project, we were to create an artifact map of our journey from home to school. Since I live on campus, I decided to trace my path from my room on campus to my first class. This map was to include more geographical and physical aspects of my journey. The idea was that someone unfamiliar with the area could read my map and be able to successfully complete the path of travel. Since my journey is very short, I decided to focus on the main guiding feature from my room to my class: the sidewalks. I created the sidewalks in the same form and pattern as the one's in my journey. With the sidewalks and the buildings as a reference, my map is very easy to read.

Symbol Creation - Final Symbols

These were my final symbols for this project.

Symbol Creation - Finals per Category

Space Final 3

Nautical Final 3

Virtual Final 3

These were the final 3 images for each category that I then refined into final solid symbols.
