What Is The Optimal Structure For Organisations Representing Design And Designers On The Island Of Ireland?, Barry Sheehan
What Is The Optimal Structure For Organisations Representing Design And Designers On The Island Of Ireland?, Barry Sheehan
Dissertations
The research question addresses the issue of the structure of organisations that represent the interests of design and designers on the island of Ireland. The role of designers in Ireland is seen by society as marginal, rather than one central to the economic, social, and cultural well being of the island and those who live on it. This problem is exacerbated, as the organisational structures of those who play a key part are both confused and confusing. The answer to the question of what is an optimal structure lies in the literature that has been written on the subject and …

From Lightbox To Love Box, Antony Nevin
Nordes Conference Series
This Design Case study will explore how the Lightbox project that was exhibited at the Lightwave Festival (Science Gallery Dublin JanFeb 2009) can contribute to further discussion and research about the ways in which we consider the use of analogy and the ‘technosensorary’ in design research. reflect on the use of analogy and how this may inform design resesarch.
Social Navimation: Engaging Interfaces In Social Media, Jon Olav Eikenes
Social Navimation: Engaging Interfaces In Social Media, Jon Olav Eikenes
Nordes Conference Series
Social media are now an integrated part of culture and digitally mediated social activities. Screen-based devices now employ sophisticated graphics including visual movement on a variety of platforms. This article explores how visually dynamic interfaces can enhance social media applications. A socio-cultural view on communication and interaction design is combined with a practice-based research approach incorporating design production with textual analysis. The term social navimation is introduced and applied in the analysis of multimodal interfaces. A set of semiotic resources are identified that should be of interest for the practice and theory of dynamic interfaces and interaction design.

The Discursive Agency Of Productive Ambiguity, Lisa Grocott
Nordes Conference Series
This poster is an attempt to visually communicate the findings of a practice-led research study — a study that came to recognize the value of critical discussion provoked by the ambiguous readings of artifacts. Interested in considering how practitioners’ share the outcomes of research, the study was motivated to see the sharing of design research as less about wrapping up and more an invitation for ongoing critical reflection between the designer and audience. Within this context the poster works as a dissemination artifact that asks carefully crafted questions as opposed to presenting closed, definitive findings. This move seeks to engage …
Peepholes As Means Of Engagement In Interaction Design, Christian Dindler, Peter Dalsgaard
Peepholes As Means Of Engagement In Interaction Design, Christian Dindler, Peter Dalsgaard
Nordes Conference Series
We present and discuss the concept of peepholes as a means for creating engaging interactions. By peepholes, we refer to aspects of interactive artifacts and environments that utilize the tension between what is hidden and what is revealed to foster engagement. As a foundation for discussing the qualities of peepholes, we outline a pragmatist perspective on engagement, emphasising the reciprocal relation between people, technology, and environment. We articulate peepholes as an example of a concrete means of engagement. Through a range of examples and two design cases, we explore peepholes as a means of engagement and discuss the pragmatist conception …
Staging Urban Atmospheres In Interaction Design, Peter Dalsgaard, Karen Johanne Kortbek
Staging Urban Atmospheres In Interaction Design, Peter Dalsgaard, Karen Johanne Kortbek
Nordes Conference Series
In this article, we address the concept of atmosphere from a designerly perspective and discuss challenges facing interaction designers who seek to stage atmospheres in urban settings. We outline previous academic works on atmosphere and the emergence of atmosphere as a subject-space encounter, primarily on the basis on Gernot Böhme’s notion of atmosphere. We then present the argument that, in the field of interaction design, it is worthwhile to expand an analytical and operational understanding of atmosphere to encompass technological, social and temporal concerns, as these are central to interaction design discourse. In order to explore this expanded notion of …

Toward A Visual Paideia: Visual Rhetoric In Undergraduate Writing Programs, Candice Welhausen
Toward A Visual Paideia: Visual Rhetoric In Undergraduate Writing Programs, Candice Welhausen
English Language and Literature ETDs
New media and digital texts of the twenty-first century are generally characterized as rich and dynamic combinations of verbal, visual, and aural elements. Instruction in visual rhetoric in the writing classroom, however, has tended to focus on analysis with far less emphasis on teaching students how to produce multimodal texts. Drawing upon classical rhetorical theory, I propose the development of a visual paideia grounded in the educational goals of the Greco-Roman paideia to incorporate richly balanced instruction in both analysis and production of visual-dominant texts. I approach the development of a visual paideia via examining the current state of visual …

A Sense Of Place: A Personal Exploration, Analysis And Re-Interpretation Of Diverse Places, Hyejin Park
A Sense Of Place: A Personal Exploration, Analysis And Re-Interpretation Of Diverse Places, Hyejin Park
Theses and Dissertations
Every city/place has unique, distinctive qualities. Individuals acquire a sense of place in accordance with their own experiences and perspectives, which may not be the same as the experiences and viewpoints of another person. In this project, I explore, analyze, and re-interpret three places that have creatively and emotionally influenced me and remained in my memory: Times Square, New York City; Insadong, Seoul, South Korea; and Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia. To comprehend and draw a sense of place, I observe, feel, and document the characteristics of each place through different methods and processes, based on my own experiences. In addition, …
Mobile Exhibition System, Sanford Jillian Columbus
Mobile Exhibition System, Sanford Jillian Columbus
Theses and Dissertations
Through the development and design of a Mobile Exhibition System (MES) in this thesis, I will demonstrate the benefits and possibilities of a flexible and mobile system within an exhibition environment. A flexible system will be able to adapt to a wide range of content, while at the same time, maintaining a synergy between its form and function. By the reuse and reappropriation of shipping containers as the exhibition envelope, the goal of mobility can be achieved, reaching out to those who might not otherwise experience learning through an exhibition environment.

Contexture, Kimberly Winters
Contexture, Kimberly Winters
Theses and Dissertations
As I work with mixed media and computer technology, I am reminded at how evolved our lives and society have become in spite of how incredibly primal our individual needs remain. I began addressing those needs with drawing and painting; now, I find myself flung into a digital world of hard drives and pixels. Working with electronic imagery satisfies my immediate need to explore many options simultaneously but at the same time there is a detachment, a distance if you will, between me and my work. Developing a tactile-rich surface for a digital image by applying paint, wax, and surface …
Design By Accident, Mengfu Zhang
Design By Accident, Mengfu Zhang
Theses and Dissertations
Accident is a metaphor for life. From an arbitrary point in time, we potentially preview the entirety of existence. There is a Chinese idiom called “ blessing or bane,” which implies that a misfortune may perhaps soon turn into a blessing. Focusing on accident as a design method implies making the best out of a bad situation. An accident reveals invisible circumstances and potentialities in the world, both familiar and unfamiliar. Looking into the unpredictable world, I can begin to release my control, take a breath, and see what might happen if I do not fight the situation. I am …

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of the study was to determine how exceptional writing teachers utilize visual images in their teaching of writing. Specifically, the researcher was interested to discover how drawing might be used as a learning tool in the various stages of the writing process. Nine elementary teachers - recognized as exemplary teachers of writing, completed a detailed questionnaire in reference to their writing instruction. All of the teachers surveyed value visuals highly and recognize the potential impact that drawing can have on writing. However, not all of these teachers are utilizing drawing or visual strategies in their writing instruction on …

Computing For Knowledge Management: From Nonaka To Visualisation And Knowledge Maps, Helmut Huber
Computing For Knowledge Management: From Nonaka To Visualisation And Knowledge Maps, Helmut Huber
Dissertations
Management itself is not always clearly understood, however, the confusion can be sorted if the underlying theory is clearly distinguished from its implementations. There also may be a specific role for computing in Knowledge Management. It is suggested that Knowledge Management technologists seek a unique strategic position for Computing in Knowledge Management, for reasons of clarity and differentiation from Information Systems. The effective transfer of knowledge is one of the main themes or core competency in Knowledge Management. This is also one of the areas where Knowledge Management technologists may find the niche for a distinct and unique contribution the …
Ssnetviz: A Visualization Engine For Heterogeneous Semantic Social Networks, Ee Peng Lim, Maureen Maureen, Nelman Lubis Ibrahim, Aixin Sun, Anwitaman Datta, Kuiyu Chang
Ssnetviz: A Visualization Engine For Heterogeneous Semantic Social Networks, Ee Peng Lim, Maureen Maureen, Nelman Lubis Ibrahim, Aixin Sun, Anwitaman Datta, Kuiyu Chang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
SSnetViz is an ongoing research to design and implement a visualization engine for heterogeneous semantic social networks. A semantic social network is a multi-modal network that contains nodes representing di®erent types of people or object entities, and edges representing relationships among them. When multiple heterogeneous semantic social networks are to be visualized together, SSnetViz provides a suite of functions to store heterogeneous semantic social networks, to integrate them for searching and analysis. We will illustrate these functions using social networks related to terrorism research, one crafted by domain experts and another from Wikipedia.
Exploring How Residential Communities In The Rural Southern Appalachian Mountains Are Branded As 'Green:' A Qualitative Analysis, Ole Sleipness
Exploring How Residential Communities In The Rural Southern Appalachian Mountains Are Branded As 'Green:' A Qualitative Analysis, Ole Sleipness
All Dissertations
As environmental issues have gained media prominence, a majority of Americans now consider themselves to be environmentalists. Producers of real estate development have responded with communities, branded to differentiate themselves from their competition through sagas, imagery, and symbols that communicate the values and identities that align with those of their targeted consumers. Host to a rapidly expanding population, the Southern Appalachians are home to a wealth of new communities, many of them branded as 'green.' Building on theoretical foundations in visual design, environmental rhetoric, and landscape interpretation, this research utilizes a collective case study analysis to illustrate how texts, images, …
Multilayer Image Inpainting Approach Based On Neural Networks, Quan Wang, Zhaoxia Wang, Che Sau Chang, Ting Yang
Multilayer Image Inpainting Approach Based On Neural Networks, Quan Wang, Zhaoxia Wang, Che Sau Chang, Ting Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper describes an image inpainting approach based on the self-organizing map for dividing an image into several layers, assigning each damaged pixel to one layer, and then restoring these damaged pixels by the information of their respective layer. These inpainted layers are then fused together to provide the final inpainting results. This approach takes advantage of the neural network's ability of imitating human's brain to separate objects of an image into different layers for inpainting. The approach is promising as clearly demonstrated by the results in this paper.
Crafting Authenticity, Allison N. Schumacher
Crafting Authenticity, Allison N. Schumacher
Theses and Dissertations
Authenticity is what we want from the world around us, from others, and crucially from ourselves and what we make. As it relates to graphic design, I define authenticity as a perceived match between form and purpose. For the designer, its quality is found in the process of simultaneously developing a concept and crafting the design/object.
