So after a few false starts, I'm trying blogspot to take care of my 505 blogging needs.
Here's the nitty gritty, I have two problem/purpose statements that I are vying for my coveted research. One is about prescription medication packaging, which I found out somebody already did, but I think I could better. The other is producing an easier to use MUNI/public transportation map. Here's the drafts I have of the two.
Problem Statement t#1:
Prescription medication labels and packaging are often hard to decipher, which may lead to incorrect use.
Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this study is to develop new prescription medication packaging that is easy to operate and comprehend.
a. Users, Stakeholders, Beneficiaries
The main beneficiaries of this study and it’s resulting product would be the elderly, since they generally suffer from the most aliments that are treated by prescriptions. Other beneficiaries would be anybody else who will be using prescription medication.
b. Environment, Location
The location where this product would be used is anywhere one would take their prescription medication.
c. References, Resources
References would be sources on the subjects of legibility, iconography and packaging design. Other resources would be the Center for Elder and Youth in America, experienced graphic designers, prescriptions users and pharmacisits.
Problem #2:
SF MUNI underground maps are difficult to understand, especially to those not already familiar with San Francisco’s geography.
Purpose Statement:
The purpose of this study to design a new SF MUNI map that will be easy to navigate for those unfamiliar with the City.
a. Users, Stakeholders, Beneficiaries
The primary beneficiaries of a redesigned MUNI map would be visitors and people who are new to San Francisco. People from San Francisco traveling via MUNI to unfamiliar locations will also benefit.
b. Environment, Locations
The locations of the MUNI maps will primarily be inside a MUNI station, at various San Francisco reference/information desks and online.
c. References, Resources
References would be sources on the subjects of legibility, iconography and packaging design. Other resources would be the MUNI agency, MUNI riders, those unfamiliar with the city of San Francisco, and graphic designers.

So far I'm leaning towards the medication packaging, because I think it has more potential for improvement and helping others.
BTW.. I got a new toy
