Infocamp Seattle 2010. This was a fantastic experience that I would recommend anyone even vaguely interested in information attend - librarians, UX, IA etc.
Have a gander at the topics covered this year on the Wiki.
1962 “A to Z” flip book by graphic designer Bob Gill.
Visual Mixtapes by Noa Emberson.
Favorite albums represented over a series of photographs. Pretty fantastic.
Great idea for quick website feedback. I can see this working really well when testing out new web designs for libraries - simple, quick, easy.
The HUMAN Library. This has been a growing project for some time, but I just learned about it through Jessamyn, who is always on top of things. The basic premise is to promote a frank dialogue about stereotypes between a wide variety of people who are available “on loan” for visitors to the library.
(Picture above is promotional material from a Copenhagen event. I know the thong might be distracting, but the leaning security guard “book” is a great touch)
The Heads of State do it again - this time for charity.
They’re giving 50% of the profits for this poster away to the Oceana in response to that underwater oil gush you’ve heard about.
Anywhere - A Travel Guide by Magda Lipka Falck
For the culmination of her masters in Experience Design, Falck decided to examine travel books. “Anywhere—A Travel Guide” represents Falck’s belief that, “There are many different types of travel. Sometimes they carry us right across the globe, sometimes into space and sometimes just around the block. Sometimes there is a journey going on inside us,” she says.
Yet perhaps the pages of travel tips, the real flesh of this unusual travel guide, which sets it in context. Applicable for all types of travel, Falck doles out creative advice like “Imagine a song you haven’t heard in a long time. Move your body with the music. Turn right when the song ends.” Or, “Ask a stranger which is their favorite street. Go there.”
What a great concept. Travel should be an interactive experience, and she was able to demonstrate this idea on the pages of her book.
