Like any company who produces excellent work, we too like to receive credit and admiration for our work. This is especially the case for the project we have been working on until very recently. Because it is a system bought by Johns Hopkins Medicine, and therefore its property, the actual project cannot be described here; however, we are still able to get credit through the Adobe Design Achievement Awards (ADAA).
ADAA is a competition sponsored by Adobe (the guys who wrote Flash and make PDFs for you) that will award a grand prize of $3000 to the winning individual or team, along with thousands of dollars worth of Adobe products and the recognition of having won. The finalists are flown to Taipei to present at the International Design Alliance, and it is in Taipei that the winner will be chosen. Congratulations Hopkins, your STS team has entered into this contest!
The best part is that anyone who has an idea and executes it has the ability to enter this contest. The rules are that you be a registered student at an accredited institution, the work is your own (and only your own, unless you include all the members of a team), and that out of all the tools you used to create it, half of them are Adobe systems.
There are 15 categories to choose from, although only 12 are feasible (unless you are a teacher, then you have all 15). These categories range from photography and video to browser-based design and new game ideas. The point is that anybody, given a specific amount of free time and access to Adobe products, can enter this competition.
There are three waves of entry submission dates, the first of which has already passed. The next deadline is on April 29, and the final wave starts on April 30 and ends on June 24. If you'd like to be creative and possibly win a trip to Taipei, work on a project in the month after school ends and try your luck!
We are very happy with the end result of our project and hope for the best. Good luck to all!
