Picture Cook: See, Make, Eat by Katie Shelly / Co.Design  “One of my goals for this book is to encourage people to just let go of rigid kitchen rules and be loose and free about cooking. The charm of the illustrations is great for its own sake, but it’s also performing a real function in helping make cooking feel easy, lighthearted, and do-able” -the author  Genius! I love this approach for two reasons: 1) lots of extra space for notes; 2) pictures are a lot easier to remember than words, in my experience.  High-res

hyperallergic: We’re definitely intrigued by this … #autostitchglitch: Misuse and abuse of the iOS panorama acquisition mode as a pseudo strip camera. There is no post exposure photo manipulation via PhotoShop or any other tool. Instead different areas of the final image represent different moments of time during the initial long exposure. In technique the parallels to cubism, futurism, joiners, strip cameras and panography are indeed obvious, as are the less illustrious distortions made possible by Photoshop and Kai’s power tools. As an artist, musician and engineer I have always been interested in experimentation, indeterminacy and performance. At this stage I would describe all of the images in this series as the results of experiments. I’m not sure exactly where I’m going with this, but I know that there is still somewhere to go. I do know that it’s not all about technique or just about making funny pictures. http://rnuuja.tumblr.com/ High-res

Toca Tea Party began as a paper prototype, with cutouts of teapots and cups and saucers sitting on top of an iPad. They set out these elements and let some children play (they now test all their digital toys on real kids). “Originally the idea was to make the food, but the kids just wanted to get past that part,” says Jeffery. “Now we have premade cakes but you get to set the table. One of the most appreciated features was spilling. That came from the kids. ‘Ooooh, he spilled!’ ”

I just love this story! All stories about prototyping with children always have delightfully surprising endings!
