For All Seasons

For All Seasons（Interactive design）
“For All Seasons” is about using interactive elements to help communicate more of the memories transcribed than a purely textual representation could do on its own.
Words and text are traditional conveyors of information however, in the same way interactive environments can be used to represent emotions and experiences.
The interactive elements of each season attempts to allow the user to experience, however crudely, the memory for themselves.
“For All Seasons” was a project in which I wanted to disregard implementation details and focus on the concept. This is something which might seem obvious, but when working with computers (and programming in particular), ideas are changed and often even formed by implementation details and your own technical skill level. My aim was to constrain the idea
as late into the process as possible and simply let the project take the time it needed.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Tokyo Type Directors Club for giving me this award. It is a tremendous honour for my piece to be selected as this years Grand Prix winner, especially considering the calibre of the other candidates. Furthermore, the occasion has been made even more special for me as it is the first interactive work to receive the Grand Prix.
