"What is this an example of?"

That's the question Erik Stolterman asks in his Capstone class. That's what I have been told- I have never actually attended that class. But, its the best question to ask when designing, undoubtedly. Because it makes you draw parallels and forces you to see/ recognize patterns.

Check out Luke W's notes on UI12 - especially the part of ideas come from other ideas. That's what this question is all about and it is hard to answer immediately, trust me. I applied it recently (again), and after hours of pondering, I got a very useful answer.

Thanks Erik!
