Content Ducati: an Investigation of the Space of Interface and the Design of User Experience CONTENT DUCATI: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SPACE OF INTERFACE AND THE DESIGN OF USER EXPERIENCE. A thesis submitted to Parsons School of Design, a division of the New School University, New York, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Design and Technology. Melissa MacQuarrie May 2005 Thesis Faculty: Stephanie Owens, Anezka Sebek Writing Faculty: Barbara Morris Thesis advisor: Karen Sideman Additional advisors: Allen Jones, Dave kanter, Dave Carroll, Katie Salen, Colleen Macklin CONTENT DUCATI: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SPACE OF INTERFACE AND THE DESIGN OF USER EXPERIENCE. ABSTRACT OF CONCEPT Content Ducati is a web project that investigates the space of interface and the design of user experience via careful analysis of target community needs, lifestyles and habits. The intent of the project is an attempt to bring something new to the table in terms of designing access to information on the web. The goal is developing a system that is intuitive and engaging, that responds to the identity of the user and compels the user to explore. The project uses analysis of Ducati riders as a tool for developing the user experience. It seeks to translate their identity; the affinity for design, their most common attribute. This system uses the design aesthetic of the Ducati motorcycle as a process for delivery of information, so as to provide users with an experience that is unique and engaging, inspiring and entertaining. The engine looks to the information hierarchy of the Ducati website version November 2004, as a base for compression of content. The material is compressed via analysis of target user needs, then repurposed. Current methods for designing experiences demand perimeters on text. The project is, in itself, an experiment in the design of interface. It looks to the field of experience design as a resource for designing methods for user pathways and immersive environments. The mission of the project is to create the illusion of “traveling thru space” to access content. This is achieved through the use of graphical animation, narrative interaction, transitioning and programming. Research involves traditional models for web design, current models of web based experience design, investigating the design aesthetic of the motorcycle as well as the lifestyles, habits and characteristics of users in order to define community needs. The end result is an interactive, cinematic experience of the Ducati design aesthetic, that presents a means of improving internet based user experiences. The project includes site form and functionality, usability testing, and community user feedback to ensure its overall success. Predicts experiential web design will be a trend of the future. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my family, friends and fellow students for their continuous support during the creation of this thesis. Thanks to Rick Ochoa, for his resourceful perspective in the field of information technology and assistance with sound design. I also want to extend my most sincere appreciation to all of my advisors for their advice, inspiration and dedication to helping me find solutions to my design questions. Special thanks to Stephanie Owens, Barbara Morris, Anezka Sebek, Karen Sideman, Allen Jones, Colleen Macklin, Katie Salen, Dave Kanter and Dave Carrol.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Motivations Most interface design solutions for web-based applications developed today, present content via a traditional use of linear flow. Users access information through series of pre-determined, consecutive and relatively flat pages. The goal of the vast majority of current web design is to provide website visitors or application users with easy access to a host of information that they might find useful. Marketing research has determined that effective websites and applications provide the user with an immediate assurance that their time is not being wasted searching through mountains of information to get what they want. If a user cannot find what they are looking for instantly, chances are that they will leave the site. Web designers work diligently to interpret the needs of users, creating outlines of information via tables of text menus, to insure that the user can access all possible avenues of information, at first glance. The tradition supports the assumption that a web site is essentially a series of pages, to be read as one might read a book or newspaper, reading the stories on the front page, and flipping to the main pages to continue the story and get more information. While the experience of reading a newspaper can vary significantly when you consider it may entail reading the Sunday paper curled up on the sofa with a cup of coffee vs. reading standing-up on a crowded subway; traditional web site design, like newspapers, focus on information gathering and distribution to enhance the users overall experience. By concentrating mainly on information access, traditional web design restricts the potential to offer the user a broad multimedia experience.

    Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Racing Circuits Netherlands Belgium Germany Austria Luxembourg Switzerland Rob Semmeling Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 2 Contents Foreword 3 Netherlands 5 Belgium 44 Germany 78 Austria 133 Luxembourg & Switzerland 148 Copyright © Rob Semmeling 2009-2016 / all rights reserved www.wegcircuits.nl Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.
