Go to a public place with a coherent activity (ex: Starbucks, a busy bus stop)
Describe the place:
- The layout
- The way people flow/move through the space
- The texts you can see (ambient, wayfinding, etc.)
Write as much as you can about what’s happening
- What are people doing and saying?
- How are they interacting?
- Are they writing, reading, annotating, exchanging things?
Come back in 20 minutes.
