Multi-layering, time, and… a screen-saver?
February 25 2009
The first year IxD students have just commenced their 5-week multi-layering graphic design project, in partnership with Propeller.
Their first assignment is a short 2 and a half day exercise consisting in ‘designing’ four different alarm-clocks that:
- • Shows time (h, m, s);
• Shows alarm(s) set;
• Counts down time until the alarm rings (h, m);
• Counts down snooze (very important indeed);
• Has no digits, letters or clock arms.
Whilst losing time doing research on the web today, I again came across Build‘s blog which prompts it’s viewers to… take a picture of the (modernist) clock screen-saver they designed!
Even though they have added numbers to their ‘clock’, it is still very minimal and surprisingly effective. Here’s my picture:
