Intro to design brief: Tools for digital creativity

How and in what ways will people be creative with digital technology in the future? What will the toolkits look like? How will people use them? Your task is to sketch user scenarios and main features of a tool for a selected creative domain, that you will present at the end of the course. We want you to be visionary and think beyond the current state-of-the-art, but still ground your design in what people are already doing.

This task is to be conducted during the full course (DH2629: “Interaction design as a reflective practice”), across 8 weeks, in parallel with other activities. You will also get several more specific sub-tasks related to this brief during the course.

Division into groups

We will try to form groups based on your personal interests and competence. We therefore like you to list your interests in order of preference and hand it in by the end of today’s session. There will be an upper limit of 4 persons in each team and nobody should work alone. Groups will be set during this session.
