"It looks like you're trying to eat a donut!"
We're meant to be designing a "personal fitness system" for our HCI report. That's our entire project spec. Open-ended much? (especially when other people got specs such as "calorie calculator" or just "calculator"...)
One part of the report is coming up with alternative look and feel for the application. Ours is a very bog-standard Windows app, so I decided to have some fun. I went through Google, grabbed a few images, and came up with this:

We had to cut out the bit in our report about the disadvantages of the design:
"May not be immediately obvious which items are interactive and which aren't: what happens if the user clicks on a cupboard, or on the window, or on the microwave? Can the user pick up a knife and stab the dog?"
