Tehran Service Jam

We have passed Global Service Jam last weekend. it was the first time that Tehran(Iran) was participating. IDreporter was the host. Although it was a lot of weaknesses it was great because the event linked IDreporter to a group of globan community. It was honrable to see the projects in the planet website! I could't believe that there are Iranian students that can do such a good projects in Service Design!

good idea for business card

I read an article about how to design a business card. in
http://www.fastcompany.com/1819904/getting-maximum-business-impact-from-a-mini-card
MOO's CEO suggested some new ideas on design a business card which mainly addressed to use personally photographed pictuures of the palces you have been or the meal you have eaten, to customize your business card.
The idea is used in minicards they are providing. Business cards with different pictures in the back sides are exciting. He recommand to give the your business card in the begining of your meetings, then they will remember your name during the meeting. In case of minicards, it is better to put them to be picked by each person. This can be good introduction. The picture will help them to remember you.
some pictures from MOO:

I am in the design part of my thesis project now.. after a range of ideas from probes I know what kind of service is needed to be designed. It is time to visualize that. I started to draw personas..it is the part that I enjoy the most :)

loved this part: Thank you, Angela Garber. It was she who coined the term “death by PowerPoint” in an article for SmallBusinessComputing.com in 2001. What a shame, then, that more than a decade later the phrase is still in common use.


and this one will be a good inspiration resource to visit time by time..
