Throughout this week I have learned a lot. Through reading Design is Storytelling by Ellen Lupton, we learned about personas. We discussed how the process of creating personas and scenarios helps design teams work with their uses and build empathy. We talked about how scenarios are short narratives that seek to fulfill different goals. We also talked about how products have personalities. Between their different materials, colors, shapes, and graphics each engage a part of our senses and influence our behaviors. Throughout the Shape of Design article for this week, we talked about how design seeks to build bridges between our ideas and connecting them back to others.
