Week 1.
To be honest, I had no idea what this course would be about and until I really dove into the readings and texts, I slowly have begun to understand more about “Design Thinking.” To be compelety real with myself, the first brainstorming activity we did completing the entire deisgn process really put me on edge. These activies and process are out of my fimilarity, took way to long , and are more or less out of my educational intrestest. However, the readings and documentaries from this week were eye opening and I was able to grasp more of a real world look into the implementation of the “thinking processes” we have disccussed.
I am not much of an artist, so I believe that most of my cards each week will be used to display the touching, most important ideas that stood out to me each week. Writting them out helps implement them into my brain. I have found that creating these cards help me organzie my thoughts and main ideas from each week.
