![]() ![]() The specific visual style was initially based on old math and science textbooks. Our first "prototype" was a playable demo made on index cards. To make sure we were on the right track we conducted user tests. While it was important to make something all users could enjoy, Corrie and I wanted to make something kids would find especially fun and educational. Many of us first learned about Venn diagrams in our early school years, so that was a factor. This looks more like a kid's game than usual doodles. Sound logic and silliness.įiguring out what kinds of things could work as complete sets that could then be mixed and matched to still create logically correct Venn diagrams was trickier yet! Ultimately, that’s what went into making the final doodle. There were plenty of silly ideas, and some really great ones. They threw around all kinds of ideas while I doodled them on a giant sketchpad. We spent a Friday afternoon on a patio with the sole mission of figuring this out. But finding a way to clearly and correctly communicate how these diagrams actually work was a bit trickier.Įarly sketches played with a wide range of categoriesĮventually, I sat down with two of the doodle engineers, Corrie Scalisi (the engineer of this doodle) and Mark Ivey. So as far as finding an idea for an interactive doodle, Venn was a no-brainer. ![]() Venn diagrams in general are naturally pretty fun. And you would be right, but there was also a lot more to it! The doodle team asked the project lead and designer of the Venn doodle, Mike Dutton, a few questions about the creative process. With a concept this simple, you would think it was all fun and games to design an interactive doodle for John Venn’s 180th birthday. The overlapping space that both circles occupy would consist of mammals that have wings. The other circle may contain things that have wings. For example, one circle may contain things that are mammals. In the diagram, circles are used to visually and logically sort groups to illustrate their relationships to each other. John Venn was a logician and philosopher best known for introducing the Venn diagram. ![]()
