admire the discussion the case study.
Two questions:
1) Is your current web blog for Engage served on a hosting service
that lets you control custom software installs, permissions,
databases, yadda yadda? And does it support PHP, Apache and SQL? I
presume it is.
2) If the answer to #1 is yes, then I'll send you $30 via PayPal so
you can install it and use it for yourself to check it out.
Yes... That's how much I think it's important for you to be dissecting
Shaun's product with your students. Again... the stuff you like to
push for, use of story and metaphor as part of the overall design
approach, the scalability from desktop to mobile... I think Fever is
very well executed in these regards, and are some of the best concrete
examples I've seen of these sorts of design concepts in any product in
a long time. Even if you don't agree with my enthusiasm or find the
product useful in the end for your personal use, or find flaws with it
for certain reasons, there's still a lot of very useful design
thinking, execution, and all of that in the product that is worth
exploring with students.
And further, to reiterate: It's the same design, philosophy and
aesthetic from the browser version to the iPhone version. That alone
is worth studying, what about it works, what doesn't, what are going
to be the next standards in this sort of approach going forward 5
years and how to expand further on it.
Say the words and I'll press the Send Money button.
