Blue Steel, a small team of Design Computing students at the University of Sydney, were recently brought together to work on a design brief proposed by ABC – Innovation. Kevin Chen, Michael Du, and George Stavropoulos combined their talents to produce an application for a multi-touch surface to be displayed in the ABC foyer in Ultimo.
The application was designed to present ABC news articles through an appealing and engaging visualisation that would allow people to explore the stories available. Choosing a dark theme for the visualisation, Blue Steel designed the application to portray news on war, death, and crime. This visualisation provides a confronting, yet inspiring, medium through which events associated about world violence can be read and learnt.
This website provides details of the process that Blue Steel undertook to complete the application.
