This week’s material that we covered focused heavily on the design thinking process, as well as asking “why?” when tackling a problem, and how design done right could be seen as storytelling. With one of my cards I drew a picture representing the traits a good designer has. These traits were collaboration, optimism, empathy, integrative thinking, and experimentalism. I liked this insight from Design Thinking by Tim Brown because he went into detail about what a designer needs to be. I really enjoyed the Design and Thinking documentary. From that I took the idea that design is not design thinking. Design thinking is more of the creative process it takes to solve a problem, while design is focused more on the aesthetics of a product.
