My first project during my bachelor in Digital Design at Aarhus University.

We were given a task

Design a phone that can not use Apple's patents.

Find alternatives to:

• Double-tap-to-zoom

• Click-to-call

• Swipe to answer or reject a phone call

• Rectangular shape with rounded corners

You should be able to:

• Answer and reject a phone up

• Lock and unlock screen

• Zoom in on an image and / or text

• And the phone must of course be practical ift pockets, bags, hands etc.

• You must choose at least two of the above four points in your answer.

The assignment must include:

• Examine how people operate their smartphone (it has to do with its interface)

• Examine how people take their smartphone with them (it has to do with its shape)

• Explore what problems people have had with the operation. It may have to do with the interface, with the shape or with a certain environment / conditions (rain, wind, cold, heat, bags in both hands on the bike etc)
