Hello! A couple of months ago I posted this: http://lloydjonesalloneword.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/short-term-diary-prototype-experiment.html and asked for your participation. Well, now I’m doing it again. I’ve developed a couple new prototypes to try out, and I need your help. Participation is free and easy and super fun. You just need to send me an email at HowWasYourDay@Live.com with your address, I will post you one of these diaries, you fill it out, then answer a feedback questionnaire that I will send later. I don’t need the diary back, that’s yours to keep and cherish forever!
If you don’t want to give your address to an internet stranger (understandable) I can just work up a PDF to send you instead for you to print yourself at home.
You will receive one of two different prototypes. You can let me know which you would prefer, or I can choose for you. Whichever.
The first, with the brown cover, contains two weeks’ worth of content. The inside look like this:
All of the pages adhere to the same template, but with a different activity or question in the centre space for each day. You fill out one page per day, as with a standard diary.
The second, with the white cover, lasts only for one week, is more varied, but is much more intensive.
You fill out two pages (one full double-page spread) per day. One page about the day you’ve had, the other page is a more general question about you or your life which is designed to provoke introspection and paint a picture of you, as a person. I would recommend this version for a week when you have a little more free time.
If you already participated in the first round of this thing, you are more than welcome to participate again. However, be warned that a lot of the content from the previous prototype has been recycled. Because of this I will limit you to the brown cover version, as it contains a relatively lower amount of reused content than the white, and I don’t want you to get bored.
Hit me up at
HowWasYourDay@Live.com for further information or to get involved. Let’s do this!
