design tools survey

An assignment by Manuel Schmalstieg at EAA La Chaux-de-Fonds. The students had to produce a survey of tools and methods used in a professional field.

A class of Interactive Design students created a “2018 survey” of design tools used by digital agencies, in Switzerland and France.

The tasks involved:

  • Defining the questions of the survey.
  • Selecting an online survey tool (we chose Typeform)
  • Building a contact list to mail out the survey.
  • Creating a Mailchimp newsletter to send out the survey and allow for follow-up.
  • Designing a visual concept for the presentation of the survey results (we used Figma).
  • Coding the website.

Time available: 28 hours (in 7 sessions).

The resulting website: https://eaa-imd.github.io/designtools/

HTML posters

A project by Kristian Bjørnard with students at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), presented in Ellen Lupton’s book Type on Screen (2014). In French:

Bjørnard a demandé aux étudiants de créer une affiche uniquement en langage HTML, CSS, avec un peu de JavaScript. (…) Certains étudiants ont choisi de rendre hommage à l’histoire du design, en recréant des compositions célèves de l’histoire des médias imprimés dans le cadre limité du web.
