Board look: three directions
Static mockups for where the status board's look could go next. Each shows the same afternoon from Sam's phone: Alex is getting food, needs a lift to the station, has a plan in ten minutes and has just bumped Sam with "Call me"; Sam is on "Busy, don't interrupt" until 15:40. Each works at phone and laptop width, in light and dark. Nothing here is live; the forms post nowhere.
- Sign: a status is set like real signage, at poster scale in a condensed sign face, with red and yellow signs bleeding edge to edge and the two keys you tap most under your thumb.
- Timetable: every fact is a timed entry with its clock time in one left-hand column, so the board reads like a railway timetable and a stale status gives itself away by its time.
- Lamp: the other person's state fills the whole first screen with its colour, yellow, red or plain, so it reads from across a room before a word can; your own state is a strip beneath it.
