Alphero design day
Alphero is having a design day for 3rd and 4th-year students through Summer of Tech.
It’s essentially a design bootcamp, students will work in teams on mini-projects that are mostly digital/UX/UI focused. It’ll be a good opportunity to get some mock commercial experience and additional work to add to their portfolio. There will be prizes at the end for the best team and spot prizes during the day. Alphero also offers internships every year through Summer of Tech, so it’s a great way to help us network with students interested in working for them.
Students will need to set up a profile through Summer of Tech to apply. Once they have registered it’ll ask for their portfolio which will be sent through to Alphero for review and they will shortlist students to come in for design day (here’s the link to register: https://summeroftech.co.nz/register/).
Interactive inspiration: Jonathan Harris
Jonathan Harris is an artist and computer scientist from Vermont.
I find his work very interesting but he regularly falls into the trap of the interface overpowering the content – something I specifically want to avoid. An example is the whale hunt interactive which is extremely clever but I prefer the highlights page from the same interactive
His work is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Modern Art, and has been exhibited at Le Centre Pompidou (Paris), the CAFA Art Museum (Beijing), the Barbican Center (London), the Victora and Albert Museum (London), and The Pace Gallery (New York). He studied computer science at Princeton University and spent a year in Italy at Fabrica. The winner of three Webby Awards, Print Magazine named him a “New Visual Artist,” and the World Economic Forum named him a “Young Global Leader.” His TED talks have been viewed millions of times.

In Pieces – CSS goodness
In Pieces is an interactive exhibition turned study into 30 of the world’s most interesting but unfortunately endangered species — their survivals laying literally, in pieces. Some stunning mograph and very clever coding in entirely CSS.
Each shape is being morphed, moved and toyed with by a new set of co-ordinates, and as they are maintained as triangles throughout, this means 3 points, with CSS transitions to link up the movements. No tricks or tools have been used to get the illustrated results, code-wise or graphically. Point by point, shape by shape, each one has been handcrafted via a personally-created tracing JS function after illustration.
