This will be our second meeting at MSOE (though in a different room this time.) Our main topic:

The Importance of Iteration in Design
Mike Rohde, a graphic and web designer will speak about the importance of iteration in the design process. Mike will discuss why nailing down a complete design in one shot is so hard, and how continual improvement of a design can improve the design and challenge the designer. The presentation will include samples of a design project from sketches, through design iterations, all the way to the final design.

(Pete Prodoehl will also do a brief presentation on Lightbox JS if there is time.)

Mike Rohde's Flickr Design Samples

I was inspired by Matthew Pickard's Flickr sets of design work, so I've gone Flickr Pro and have setup a few sets of sample design work:

Logo Design

Icon Design

Web Design

If you check individual entries, some have links back to my blog, where detailed descriptions of the process can be viewed.

Some of these items will be what I use for the talk in April.
