Concept 1: Mobile Phones

Mobile Phone interfaces have evolved very quickly and drastically. 

concept:

The user interface of these objects sometimes exemplify the design principles of Rams. Others seem to completely ignore them. 

For this exhibit we are proposing to take the visitor on a trip of the 10 principles showing examples of phones that do & the ones that do not. In showcasing them next to each other we are making the visitor aware of the bad design decisions they might not be aware of, convincing them of the importance of Rams's principles.  

Along the trip the visitor will, using their smart phones, design their idea of a perfect phone as they learn the principles.
