Niki – Howard Rheingold Interview

In the previous class, Elliot introduced to us to the 6 thinking hat process to critique our Niki entries. It was sort of a guideline to recognize if there was anything missing in our entry that prevented it from being an interesting article. It provided us with a new approach of problem solving with the use of certain categories, thus allowing us to rectify whatever that needs to be touch up.

I figured that this process could be applied to anything, especially for designers. We are so used to doing the things that we are so comfortable with that we develop our own habits unconsciously, hence, our perception on things/ideas can get obscured.

Initially, our Niki article was just a plain wordy mock up interview with Howard Rheingold. Kimberly and I came up with possible strategies that we thought could make the article more interesting, however we realised that time wasn’t on our side. So we ditched the idea. It strucked us that we were “dealing” with a social media addict just right before the presentation. So tadaaaa! We made our interview into a facebook conversation with Howard Rheingold, felt that with the use of facebook conversations makes everything more casual and informal, on the other hand showing some traits of his outgoing personality! What do you think of it!?

Oh btw, if you’re wondering how to embed pictures to your Niki page, just upload your picture onto ur Facebook group or an album. Copy the URL of the image itself, and insert this html code into the “Text tab – coding page” of the entry.

<img src=”paste url here“>

And you’re good to go!
