I think that design thinking is really important, both in business and in practically any other profession out there. The concepts are things that go beyond purely design, and I think that is one of the coolest aspects of design thinking. Coming out of this course I think I have a much clearer idea of what design thinking is , and kind of the main concepts that I would like to carry with me going forwards. I also learned about the creative process, and some ways to go about creating a concept and following it through to a fully fledged idea.

This week the focus seemed to be on different tools and layers of design that could help us when prototyping, or in the early design stages. This makes sense as it lines up with what we are doing in class. It complements the work we are doing well, and there is a good variety of information to offer us a solid base. I think that these readings will prove even more useful as we progress through the term and through the design stages. The readings also seem to be building on top of each other, although I guess that is due to progression through the different books be are reading.

Hello world!

This week there were a lot of interesting things in the readings and videos. I really enjoyed learning about all the different ways to look at design, and thinking about the different aspects of design, and all the elements that go into designing something successful. I think when people first think about designing, or just making something in general, a lot of the time their first thought is to just make something that looks good. This weeks assignments showed that, while making something appealing visually is certainly a factor in designing something, there are also many deeper things that go into creating something that people appreciate and can connect with.
