Another in a long series of displays of why I get so little sleep, here's my latest class assignment, this time from my Interface and Interaction Design course.

The assignment: Take a widget (defined as a single interactive element, like a lightswitch, a pull-top can, or what have you), and redesign it, demonstrating the affordances and benefits of your new design.

Since the professor said the assignment would be graded as much on final production value as for the design of the widget itself, I went a little photoshop crazy.

If you're truly interested, I have a lot more specification detail than made it into the poster, but the poster still gives a good idea.

I chose car exterior door locks.
