Request HN: What everyday thing should I redesign?

2 pointsajaimk1 comment

I am a computer science major focusing on interaction design at Georgia Tech. I am currently at a situation where I have very little time commitment for the next month or so and am embarking on a project to redesign everyday things. Current ideas in my head include resumes, boarding passes, maps, etc. I would love your suggestions.

I feel like I've seen so many alternative resume / business cards that I tend to dismiss any that are actually practical at this point. Something I'd really like to see a redesign of is the print newspaper. As it is, I get most of my news online, but I love the idea of reading a newspaper. I would probably do it more often if news stories weren't scattered across several pages and I could quickly identify stories that might interest me at a glance. I don't know exactly how I would tackle the problem, but, in my opinion, it could use some modernization.
