Woo!

I’m happy to say my design won the crowdSpring t-shirt design project for the Information Architecture Institute’s Idea 09 Conference.

My concept was a design which also served as an information graphic illustrating Neilsen’s 90-9-1 rule of user participation. Since the conference focus is Social and Experience design, it felt especially appropriate to reflect users and user patterns specific to social design.

The winning design was the next to last version of the 10 or so iterations I went through, as I tried to represent the movement of 100 cursors as a sort of school or flock, which I thought doubly ideal as a reflection of group social patterns.

It feels great to get recognized and I really hope the conference attendees like it – I do enjoy the idea of all the awesome UX folks walking around in my design.
