Competitors need to submit a process book documenting a project they have undertaken that exemplifies excellence in interaction design. Stage 1 submissions will lead to 5 finalists who will move on to Stage 2.
What is a “process book”?
Documents a project from beginning to end.
Why this project?
Who is it for?
How ideas were generated, evaluated and refined?
Final design communication
How the student outlines their project is part of the judging criteria in how they represent their focus and articulate interaction design practice.
