What is collaging with respect to interface design? It doesn’t have a wikipedia definition, but it is mentioned as a research method for interaction design:
IDIA 642– Research Methods for Interaction Design
Introduces user research methods such as contextual inquiry, ethnographic field studies, card sorting, image collaging, and usability testing that provide the foundation for user-centered interaction design.
A couple of us asked on SIGIA-L - Eric Scheid suggested that it might be like the use of mood boards. Dan Saffer has spoken on the use of mood boards. Design Skills has a definition and examples. But of collaging - nothing.
Knowledge Worker 2.0 is about collaboration - sharing the definition of collaging would help to sell the concept and engender discussion. For those of us who might be able to use it in the field, it is frustrating that there is no available description of collaging. Anyone who wants to share the clue, I’d be grateful if you would leave me a comment or put something up on wikipedia. Share it and it shall grow
