“Un homme avec un livre va vers la lumière, ou la bibliothèque comme théâtre”
(Essay, self-published, 2011)

Essay by Jérôme Bertrand, 2011, French.

Notes de photographie d’architecture et recherches en interpassivité.

Un-homme-avec-un-livre-va-vers-la-lumière-v8-omptimized-PDF-1

Exerpt (French), below.

Préface et faire face (sur l’interpassivité alternative)

Mon parcours en photographie m’a mené à me poser des questions sur le rôle de l’architecture dans la photographie. Quel était le moment décisif, le schnitt-photo arrêté, où apparaitrait la vérité immanente – s’il y en a une – du bâtiment de construction? Comment me préparer physiquement, mentalement ou même spirituellement en tant que fabricant d’images, traductions de nombreux instants uniques, au déclic fatal et mécanique du rideau5 qui montrerait au monde mon image subjective (morte) de la réalité (vivante) ?

Finalement, quelles seraient les voies déjà empruntées par de nombreux maîtres d’apprentissage pendant des millénaires, qui ont formés ou formeront une part de ma compréhension de l’histoire des médias contemporains que j’enseigne ? Et en quoi suis-je redevable dans tout partage avec mes étudiants pour autant que je reconnaisse les fondements de l’histoire pour ne pas la répéter aveuglément ?

J’eu la providence de rencontrer le photographe franco-hongrois Lucien Hervé en 1992 au NAI de Rotterdam au vernissage de la rétrospective de son œuvre (voir catalogue de l’exposition ESSENTIE VAN HET FRAGMENT ). Bouleversé par ce que je vis dans ses photos, et transporté par sa sympathie, je décidais avec mon ami Martin van den Oever de lui rendre visite pour faire un film avec lui. Les conversations à Paris qui suivirent régulièrement entre 1993 et 2005 (dont nombre d’entre elles enregistrées en vidéo Hi-8) nous permirent de concevoir une installation vidéodocumentaire pour compléter une exposition itinérante sur Le Corbusier intitulée CHANDIGARH 40 YEARS AFTER LE CORBUSIER.

CHANDIGARH VU PAR LUCIEN HERVÉ (voir notes sur le parcours de Lucien Hervé) voulait aborder le sujet par l’intermédiaire d’un des témoins les plus proche de Le Corbusier pour rendre vivante la genèse plastique de la nouvelle ville (Pandit Nehru – Le Corbusier, 1959). Au montage, nous parlions avec heureuse sincérité d’interpassivité. Nous recherchions de cette façon à nous approcher au plus près du caractères utopiques des modernités et de la chronique vécue de Hervé pour laisser apparaître une réalité qui nous aiderait peut-être à dépasser les canons historiques naïfs qui nous révoltaient.

Profondément formé par cette expérience d’échange égalitaire, je décide avec le recul du temps de mettre sur papier les bribes d’idées ancrées dans la construction de mes images afin de saisir les lignes maitresses de mon apprentissage et de transférer l’esprit d’exploration permanente qui habite dans la photographie de Lucien Hervé.

UI/ UX design Project: Engagement for Mobile Insurer

As I recently worked on a UX design project for a Mobile Insurance Calculator, I decided to focus more on user engagement (UX) and UI Responsive Prototyping in Axure RP 8.

The result of this process is demonstrated among other things in a Responsive Prototype showing the Final design in 3 adaptive views or versions of one page designed for a specific screen size (or range of sizes in Pixel width):

  1. Portrait-Material-540×684-(Base)
  2. Portrait-Tablet-(720-x-any-and-above)
  3. Desktop (1000 x any and above)

I used design software Axure RP 8 to create this Responsive Prototype: http://r6cidg.axshare.com. Use the Password ‘Engage‘.

Make sure you select the page: ‘Allianz_Step 3- adaptive 540-720-1000+‘ and the Adaptive Views toggle at the top of the Left Navigation panel. Then expand or reduce your browser window to review the Adaptive characteristics for this Page’s design. Look at the Progress bar expanding!

(Software: Sketch and Axure RP 8)

Final-Proto 1-Portrait-Material-540×684-(Base)
Final-Proto 2-Portrait-Tablet-(720-x-any-and-above)
Final-Proto 3-Desktop (1000 x any and above)

Approach

I approached the idea of user engagement by envisioning the possible ‘Delightful moments’ – in the experience of the user. The simple design rationale approach behind this stems from understanding particular ‘Pain points’ a potential Insurance customer may feel before, during and/or after making decision for a specific package.

Upon careful analysis (or best assumption) and consideration of the user goals at ‘Touch point’ along her User Journey, I described these ‘moments of Delightful Experience and how might feel like (the basic emotional values marked in green, red, blue circles in the illustration on top).

Engagement UX Insurance Calculators Use Case

Excerpt

My approach to this kind of project is to develop a team understanding of the interaction problem first (the interactive system: user-machine/ interface). Because I was alone and was not able to rely on any team member to bring different views and knowledge to the subject, I have asked a second person to act as a mirroring-team-member. This helped me to get through the first Concept ideation process (MAP). Being German native, she helped me to translate the initial native English concept (the constructs translating into the direct style of the English language) into German texts for the UI (German is quite a bit lengthier and needs some adapting). The first deliverables are in English (MAP/ User flow), and gradually evolve into full German Forms into the Wireframes and Prototype.

An overview of the ideation process is shown in the MAPPING and SKETCHING pictures below, with Post-it notes and Pen-and-paper.

Design process

Wireframing the UX

I used Sketch and Adobe XD software to wireframe, and prototype the interaction.

Visual design

Next step was to put a little flavour or (very sketchy) visual design to the UX concept. Here, you typically see a 320-pixel wide screen (smallest Mobile size) where the Title texts overflow is not correctly applied (No left margin provides more line length for the long words in German but is not visually not readable nor visually attractive). I have corrected this visual flaw in the next step, the Axure RP Responsive Prototype, below.

View a fast Adobe XD prototyping for fast reviewing Basic Color Scheme options

I selected the final color scheme and used it in the Axure RP 8 Responsive Prototype, below.

Prototyping for Mobile

I also used Sketch and Sketch Mirror/ with the Crystal App to sync and review the design on a Nexus 5 mobile device.

 

And then document the Project

And as a Visual

Here is a visual representing the Basic Responsive Elements, right from within in Sketch (using a.o. Nested symbols).
