Camera+Journal

=From IDEO's Method Cards=

Camera Journal

 * HOW:** Ask potential users to keep a written and visual diary of their impressions, circumstances, and activities related to the product.


 * WHY:** This rich, self-conducted notation technique is useful for prompting users to reveal points of view and patterns of behavior.


 * IDEO application:** The IDEO team designing a travel information system distributed camera journals to families taking car trips to capture map reading and other car travel behavior.

Student camera journals
During the May mini-mester study-abroad course I taught in Italy in 2011, students encountered new challenges with their luggage over the course of four major cities, multiple train rides, and trans-Atlantic flights.

First, the cobblestone roads in each of the cities we visited challenged the //durability// and //maneuverability// of luggage items. They're designed well for airport terminals, but not so much for cobblestone streets.
