Mo' pinup space

by Dominic on Jan 26, 2012 • No Comments
As Nick and I have begun to work again, we’ve quickly discovered that we lack sufficient pinup space. What to do, what to do? Make some more obviously. We hammered out a quick design, moving from the t-shaped base, like the whiteboards we have, to an A-frame for strength and...continue reading

Back At It!

Right back at it. The holiday break was great. A nice time away. Visited friends and family saw a lot of the Western North Carolina mountains. Good stuff. Now, though, it is work time. Nick and I are taking our thesis project to the next step. We are looking at...continue reading

Penn Medicine Progress Presentation & Prototype

The Presentation: A few weeks ago, before Thanksgiving, my studio team presented our progress to some of the executives at UPHS. It was structured to explain our process and how we used it to develop a set of high and mid-level themes of common perspectives on the culture of learning...continue reading

My Experiential Tool for Living

by Dominic on Jan 15, 2012 • No Comments
I see bicycles as an important part to a strong community. They amplify a person’s mobility in a way that doesn’t belie their humanity. They simultaneously bridge gaps and enable community expansion in ways that maintain strong tie relations. All this the while providing recreation, fitness and transportation. In this way I see them as...continue reading

Update: City Limits

by Dominic on Jan 5, 2012 • 1 Comment
I just wanted to  post a quick update that the infographic I worked on for City Limits has now been published! Pretty psyched. There were just few small changes, font and color and such, which I expected, so no biggie. Check it out here. It is on pages 34 and 35 of the magazine.continue reading

Tools For Conviviality

by Dominic on Dec 15, 2011 • No Comments
This book is amazing. I’m literally only on page 12, but it is epic. The diction is awesome. So much is packed in to each sentence. The book is less than a hundred pages but it could easily be 300+ with the depth of the concepts. Though it’s more than a couple of decades old...continue reading

Christmas Ornament

by Dominic on Dec 11, 2011 • No Comments
Yesterday, amidst prepping for the four presentations and final deliverables associated with them for each of my classes, I shopped. I had to find a present for my Niece. As her God-Father, it is my duty to get her an ornament for Christmas. A family tradition, as Hank Jr. might have said. I weather the...continue reading

Personal Progression

As classes draw to a close, projects continue to wrap up. We don’t have Methods class critiques until next Tuesday but the work is pretty much done. The most interesting of the three projects, for me, was of course the personal map of the last decade. I evaluated myself in terms of my skills, experiences...continue reading

IDEO.org

by Dominic on Dec 9, 2011 • No Comments
I finally finished and submitted my IDEO.org application, but it wasn’t until after three stories, five cover letters, many re-writes and a few portfolio and resume revisions. It was well worth it though. The one year fellowship will let me utilize my design skills in the developing world to address significant and socially relevant problems....continue reading

Research, Sketching, Mapping, Prototyping

by Dominic on Nov 30, 2011 • No Comments
As an elective this semester I took a freshman class that goes over a lot of design tools. It’s focused on helping people get a cursory understanding of what design is and begin to expose them to their own creative process. One of the deliverables for this project is a book of all, or most,...continue reading

City Limits

In our methods class we focus more on graphic design and data and we’ve been given the opportunity to develop an info-graphic for the City Limits magazine. It’s an exciting opportunity to actually get some work published! Not only that but this issue will be especially timely, hitting the news-stands just before the primaries. The...continue reading

This past weekend we had another session with Jonny Goldstein. It was great, perfect timing and all. Nick and I have collected a ton of information about our thesis topic but we haven’t had time to really put it all out and see it together to see all the connections. This weekend we got to...continue reading

Philly Startup Weekend

by Dominic on Oct 31, 2011 • No Comments
A week or so ago now was Philly’s Startup Weekend. It was an awesome experience, though especially tiring since it was back-to-back with Charrette. A little background, Startup Weekend is a three-day activity that begins with people pitching business ideas and ends with people presenting their businesses. Anyone can attend, tickets aren’t expensive. After the...continue reading

It has finally ended…three days ago that is. The focus was on connections and making meaning. I’d just write about what we did, but after watching the other presentations I realize we went a different direction than the rest. It began with everyone bringing in an object that was meaningful to them. I brought in...continue reading
