Some color inspiration:

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 :)

Starting the day with good motivations by these insprations:

Some good links again:

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..

I had to record this somewhere and there were nowhere better than hear..although it is recorded in my heart!

Adam StJohn Lawrence

I am moved.

I just had an interview with a smart, lively and inspiring young journalist from... well, from a country where liberty is not what it might be. We talked about the Jam, and creativity, and playfulness.

At the end she said she couldn't print everything I said, but that she wished she could print it, because it would move people to tears.

Wow... Just... wow.

It reminded me how lucky I am to live where I do, to be free to think like I do. And how doubly lucky I am to be able to share my thoughts and experiences with people like her.

This world has a long way to go, but it is better than it has been - and we can make it better yet. Thanks to all the people who remind me every day.

Complex

Today I could form a first sketch for the project! I think I know what to design now. reading about a number of SD  projects done for elderly was inspiring.
I learned about activity recognition!

idreporter takes much more time than before, although I just answer the e-mails and am not in Tehran preparing for JAM with guys there!

started to get the contact with kirmizikalem..but without my website ready yet :(

I should prepare a cover letter for promostyl! I got an e-mail saying that they are open for colaborations..
and also have a interview appointment with Adam Lawrence for tomorrow which I should get prepared for that tonight. both technically and verbally :)

there is no day with no link to read!!

again some good advice from the supervisor.. :)
I should continue with http://www.designcouncil.info/RED/health/#B9 and http://www.fatherssupportingfathers.org/ as examples and then start to fix and generate. don't forget to write the conclusion for results and form the design goals Sonay..
