On legal flow charts…

I made these both a while back, but I’m thinking of how to revamp them — to make them a little more clear, spaced out, and usable… Most other legal flow charts I find online are products of Excel, Powerpoint,

Small Claims Mediation: The Basic Process Flow

For a class on Online Dispute Resolution at Stanford, I am on a small team working to build an online mediation system for a local county court. Its budget was slashed and can no longer afford to provide in-person mediation

A Refugee-UNHCR communication system

I made this 2×2 quadrant infographic for a presentation in my refugee redesign class — to capture the different radio programs (in blues) and miscellaneous communication functions (in yellows) that can occur on the system we are prototyping. The overall

Refugee Redesign: Concepts for Better Communication

A quick sketchnote map of concepts that my law-design group brainstormed that could address the information disconnect that exists between the UN High Commission on Refugees (who cares for and provides for refugees) and the refugees who live in camps.

Safe Mathare poster design

I made this as a first draft of a design conference poster, explaining our group’s project “Safe Mathare.”  In the second draft, the goal is to edit down the text + get more image-narrative carrying through.  It is remarkably hard

Istanbul Heart Collage

I am playing with collage design. This is 2 months of Turkey in one heart, I was playing with semi-transparent framing. Trying to make a composition that is cool enough to look like a movie poster.

An idea, the Modes Clock

Some sketches & thoughts on an idea I’ve been playing with while eaten up by computer procrastination during law school studies, and bored by ugliness of Gmail calendars, and imagining how to make daily tasks more playful, and how to

My favorite Stanford posters

A few particularly well-designed ones, I gleaned them discretely (respectfully, after the event) from around campus. Curiously, I did not attend any of these three events.  Perhaps they were too well designed.

Good Law Information Design: Online Privacy Challenge

What about terms and conditions?  I myself have never read one, but I’ve agreed to maybe fifties, maybe hundreds of them.   A fellow U of Cer Aza Raskin (now of Mozilla) issued a call for designers to address just this.

Good Law Information Design

I have been rooting around the internet for well designed legal information.  There has to be a better way of learning how the government and courts work aside from navigating the muck of huge ugly coursebooks.  10 point Times New

Art California: Mural Alley of the Mission

Over Mark’s clucks of anti-tourist disapproval, I went photo-crazy in the Mission District of San Francisco.  Whole alleys full of bizarro murals!  I don’t regret it, tourist or not.  Go find it, the Clarion Alley Mural Project, grown out of

Superluxe San Francisco

A new kind of storefront art, reminiscent of Jon Rubin‘s cadre out of Carnegie Mellon University.  Tucked between uberwealthiness outposts of San Francisco, a glossy art project, from MFA Crystal Chou, it’s Superluxe.  Thanks to Mark for the heads up.

Lucy’s Egyptian Applique Collection

Lucy brought out her collection of pillows, wall hangings and fabrics from Egypt.  There’s whirling dervishes (which is a nice clean image good for later print design), the name Lucy, and all kinds of renderings of the Koran opening.  I

The Beechview Project: Up & Atem on Broadway Avenue

So Pittsburgh is hot, sticky hot.  1619 Broadway Avenue is hotter, though.  And what does that mean?  One thing: duct tape war!  I decided it was the easiest way to hang my talking heads in Beechview.  I tried a few

The Beechview Project: Faces drawn

  So another 9 faces are done, ready for quoting, talking, printing & display!  I’ll get them up (and the other 9 re-sturdily-hung after some truly disastrous melting duct tape incidents) in the next two days.  See the rough sketches
