First Concept: Touch&Blocks

Each MultiTouch device needs its own concept. After doing research and analysing everything we brainstormed a lot. We had many, many ideas which we had to reshape constantly. It was important to hit the core of graphic design, and it took a while!

Finally, in the last days we decided on a concept to use and reshape until it is just perfect. The basic concept is to have a newsfeed as theme. Each newsfeed has a message, to that message the children will have to create an image that fits: designing the message. Good examples can be found here.

The children will get their own easel (MT) and a box with blocks. The blocks are the items in their toolbox: Colouring, Text, Eraser, etc. They will have to put the blocks in a whole to active that tool. If they pick - for instance - the paint bucket, numerous paint splatters will float over the window, which they can drag and really leave a paint trail. I tried to explain it with an image, which you see below.
