Trampish Designs has embarked on a new long-term project with client Terence Edgerson. We're working on a website that will satisfy many functional requirements and help in the overall company branding. Keep an eye out for matching business cards and other printed media. Expect a launch party in early June.

uFood.org - The Collaborative Open Food Database Project

2008-04-02T21:21:00.003-04:00

As part of a Parsons the New School for Design foundation Laboratory class, we work in groups to address certain issues and design a solution.

Our group's goal is to heighten consumer awareness of the choices in produce by creating a collaborative database-powered website connecting restaurants, products, farms, and markets to consumers. The website would satisfy both consumer and business-to-business (B2B) needs by allowing users to submit and promote their own listings while also commenting and rating others.

Initially, a manual collection of data from Manhattan and Brooklyn farmer's markets and produce retailers would be necessary to create a foundation of content. Additionally, interviews will be conducted to determine specific types of data that consumers and restaurants will value.

The website will capitalize on the same principles that make sites such as Digg, YouTube and Craigslist popular: community driven content and management (rating and flagging systems) and simple functionality

A Major Declaration

This past Friday I declared the Integrated Design Curriculum (IDC) as my major at Parsons the New School for Design.

"The Integrated Design Curriculum is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program that provides broad-based knowledge for design practice. Today's designers must be informed problem-solvers who thrive in an evolving design world of global networks and technological innovation. Through an integrated study of design, technology, and the liberal arts, the program develops highly skilled designers with a critical awareness of the complex environment they will engage in as professionals. Collaboration, teamwork, writing, analysis, critique, verbal expression, and presentation are all integral to this course of study. In the IDC, we have created a socially conscious community in which students share a vision of what design may achieve."

IDC will enable me to focus on both fashion and product design and build on the experience I've gained so far in freelance and the foundation program.

The Cell Theatre's New Performance Space

We've been doing some photography over at 338 W. 23rd St. in Chelsea recently to showcase The Cell Theatre's brand new performance space. Featuring a massive light rig, projection system, flexible pew seating for 60 and so, so much potential!

We've also recently updated their website with photo gallery capabilities (featuring Lightbox) and some script.aculo.us effects (mouse-over the company logo).
