"Typographical Dictionary"
Brief:
The unique qualities of this reference tool are found in its layout and presentation of information. Geared towards English-speaking students studying Japanese, not visa-versa, this dictionary would provide large, bold typography of the foreign spelling of the word to boost visual retention. Meanwhile, the English components would be smaller and less striking, given the user's preexisting ability to identify and comprehend English words. Lastly, the first three results from Google Image Search (provided the user is online) would be presented as thumbnails on the bottom left of the layout. Every property of this concept is designed to improve the visual retention of desirable information.
level of completion: style frame
Results:
Initial user testing yielded promising results; yet, given the level of completion consisted of a single style-frame, a genuine user-experience could not be determined. Thus, I met with a computation student to evaluate the programming and code libraries required to complete a working prototype. His outlook on this concept was promising and led me to explore the use of databases and PHP to create a usable form of this proposal.
