Mark Jones from IDEO is visiting IDII this week, helping us out with our service design projects. My group chose to work on the Preventing Obesity topic for this six week project. You can read more about the service design projects on the official Zoom Out, Zoom In site. For information about the obesity project, check out the Preventing Obesity project description. For information about our particular project, check out Good Citizens.
We’ve also had people from the Design Council stop by to help us out, and later in the project Live|Work is going to be visiting as well.
I’m finding service design very interesting, because it takes a very macro approach to problems. I’m still wrapping my mind around this subject area, so I’m a little hesitant to describe it right now. There’s a decent description here. I’ll probably have more to say on this subject once this project is over in several weeks.
In other news, here’s the official Strangely Familiar site.
