Conceptual Design

Instead of droning on about this topic, I’d like to do the exercises in the chapters. In particular, let’s do three storyboards, one for each perspective (emotional, interaction, and ecological) as described in Exercise 17-2 on pages 371–372. Let’s take an hour to do this, so about fifteen minutes per sketch, with a short break after each one to share with the other groups.
