Design – it’s a team sport!
26/02/2009 in News
Talking to Rachel after tonight’s meeting (more about that later) I had a thought for next month. Rather than talking about it – why don’t we do it. How about we design something as a group. We have more than enough people to make a spectacularly over-staffed design team (or two more sensibly staffed teams). It would really interesting to see what we could come up with. Either it will be fantastic or it’ll start a huge fight and we’ll all spend the rest of the evening is Casualty…
This is a half-baked idea so I’m not exactly sure what we’d design just yet. A few of us tonight expressed irritation at banking websites, so some aspect of that might be one idea, but I’m sure we can come up with something more exciting than that. Or some common widget or tool which you always find frustrating that you’ve always wanted to fix.
Ideally it should be something none of us have designed before.
So if people are generally up for this start thinking of things we can revolutionise!

That gets my vote. Its a nice change from the presentation format.

This sounds like a really interesting idea . . I’m sure we can come up with something that would be a good challenge and that we could realistically make some good progress on in the time available.
I reckon – go for it!

I originally said that we should design something none of us have ever done before. What I was trying to avoid was one person knowing way more about the topic than everyone else, and therefore ending up being “in charge”.
But I guess that would work just as well if it was something we are all familiar with. So a bank site might not be such a bad idea after all.

the icici bank website is pretty primitive (www.icicibank.co.uk) that would give us plenty to work with…
