Last summer and winter break I worked at an interactive design firm called Small Design Firm. I’ve always had trouble explaining their work so I just stole this from the website to explain.
“Small Design Firm specializes in the design and implementation of interactive, dynamic graphical applications. In making information accessible to people, it is necessary for designers to rethink current design paradigms. The computer screen is not a piece of paper and should not be treated as such. By taking advantage of the ability of the computer to display dynamic, flexible, and adaptive typography and imagery, we can invent new ways for people to read, interact with, and assimilate information. Likewise, the combination of innovative visualization with architectural space and well-designed physical interfaces puts potentially limitless spaces within a human context.” -www.smalldesignfirm.com
Anyway, the project I worked on was for a new interactive wayshowing and educational system at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. SDF updated their website with new images and videos of the finished project. I’m excited to share it because this is the first time I’ve seen the project completed. I wanted to visit it after completion in NY but because of my accident I haven’t been able to go.
I worked on all three sections of the project but mainly the modeling of all the furniture in the Period Room Touchscreen project. Check on the first video and you’ll see all the crazy models I built in action. I hope you enjoy!
