Presentations of paper prototypes. Be sure to include:
- A brief overview of previous work as way of background.
- Two precedents for each idea.
- A Thesis Concept & Prototyping Statement for each prototype.
- Visual evidence of each prototype.

When you are not presenting please be active, engaged and thoughtful toward the work of your peers.


/*** HOME WORK ***/
Create two aesthetic prototypes that test some question or experiment about the formal and methodological aspects of your project. Create something oriented toward the senses for this user test, that you can hand someone and say, "here, try it, check it out." This should not be a slide presentation; the work should demonstrate the aesthetic qualities you would like your design / experience to have.

Each prototype should include a concept statement.

Midterm presentations will be Oct. 1.
