Case study

There is not a lot of examples or case studies of what people are working on
in the mobile space. I am talking about normal day-to-day cases, it does not
have to be the spectacular stuff.

Can anyone recall this case study?

I remember hearing a case study of Philips (as far as I can recall!) many years back in a conference. The study was about how people say a particular thing when asked for opinion but can do entirely different things. In this case, it was about color preferences of a portable music system. The potential users said that they prefer red but actually picked up a black one.

Does anyone recall this story or was it someone's figment of imagination?

Tips writing case studies (cross-post)

(Sorry for the cross-post, but...)

As part of my job search (plug), I'm writing case studies for my
portfolio, but the case studies inevitably run long. Too long.

The length answers complex interview questions like "walk me through
your process" and "how did you overcome an obstacle" and "how do you
communicate with non-designers".

Is it better to offer a bare bones case study with frequent links to
deliverables?
