The character of a pattern carries through to the context in which it is placed. Each pattern tells a story. By interpreting our surroundingenvironments we become inspired, and the patterns in turn can become part of our own narratives. This project was fuelled by my fascination and desire to explore patterns. My method of exploration was based on prior knowledge of patterns and interior design.The question became how can I apply my knowledge of interior design to pattern design and how could I best translate the brief intoa language of colour and shapes? The aim was to develop my knowledge of pattern design as well as to use this opportunity to combine my design methods with those of a professional designer.

The aim of this thesis is to fill a knowledge gap regarding how online players use libraries, their attitude towards libraries and what they want out of future libraries. We see it as a problem that the library world of today does not have much knowledge about an audience that is so prevalent in society.The theory used in the thesis is Henrik Jochumsen, Casper Rasmussen Hvenegaard & Dorte Skot-Hansens model that divides libraries into four functions. The four functions are meetings, knowledge, inspiration and experiences. In the analysis we added a suggested fifth function, a digital space, giving the digital interaction and information needs of today´s society.

Studien tar avstamp i den diskussion som förts kring nyhetssajternas kommentarsfält. Diskussionen kulminerade under sommaren 2011 då flera nyhetssajter ändrade sina förhållningsregler och vissa fall även de tekniska lösningar som användes. Denna studie ämnade undersöka om valet av kommentars-teknik påverkar användares vilja till kommunikation på nyhetssajter, men även att belysa eventuella bakomliggande faktorer till detta. Detta har genomförts genom en kvalitativ observations- och intervju-studie. Resultatetav studien påvisar att kommunikationen påverkas av valet av teknisk lösning, och att bristen av kontroll är en av de avgörande faktorerna bakom huruvida en användare är villig att kommentera en artikel..
