assignment
This project was my graduation project for my Master of Arts degree in Interaction Design. For my graduation project I wanted to challenge myself with a target group that I new very little of, yet I as an interaction designer, could mean a lot for. It seemed a obvious choice as an Interaction Designer to help a target group that has trouble with Interaction.
Partners in crime
Although I worked alone on this project I still had a lot of help from different people. Without their help this project would not have been such a success.
