A funny design of Message Board.

It is a well-known fact that Social Media and technology has have changed the way we communicate: it’s easier, faster and above all it’s virtual. (Sometimes we almost talk just with with just onomatopoeia!). That’s why in today’s presentation I would like to show you an alternative. But I will come back to that point later in my presentation.
First of all, this is Dedo. I discovered it on Behance. Dedo is a furry message board on which you can draw your message or a picture by simply dragging your finger in the opposite direction of the artificial fur growth. Dedo was created in 2010 by the Portuguese designer Gonçalo Campos, and it means finger in Portuguese.

It is really easy to use because the fur is specially designed to keep the mark you leave with your finger, and it is just as readable and understandable as any conventional message board. Rather than using Post-It Notes or pens and markers, you can write your message using nothing but a finger. Also, it is an ever-changing decorative element as we can see on in pictures; you can transform it into a (great) decorative painting.

Dedo is 70 x 100 cm. So it gives us a huge area on which to doodles and to draw notes. Dedo is/was available for sales but it’s a limited edition with only 18 pieces units in stock. One board costs 110 euros.

For the longest time, message boards have been either a simplye board with pinned notes or a chalkboard. Dedo, which that looks like a framed carpet, is really different from traditional message boards, and I think Gonçalo Campos brings us some poetry with his design / product,. … It is a simple but ingenius a genius and a fun concept, and the tactile nature would make it really fun for a child's kid’s room.

As I mentioned at in the beginning of my presentation, Dedo offers, in my opinion, a fantastic and funny alternative to all to-do app and time productivity gadgetry. I have noticed that there is are more and more apps, like Teux-Deux or Pomodoro, that provide us a tools and a methods to makes lists, and do things in one day as much as possible in one day. It is all virtual with a regretful regrettable lack of poetry. With Dedo, the message board becomes inventive, and you use your imagination. I admit that it is not really transportable but it may improves your creativity because of its the tactile nature of this object.

Very good; only very minor issues.  Keep at it!

I'd suggest a class with Lorenza here on italki.  She's great and has the kind if mix of grammar and fun that you want.
