Week 10

As our final week comes to an end I focused on the real importance of design, humans. Design can be used by anyone to make their lives easier and more productive. Humans are the future of design, and new innovations are just going to get better. As we design, we focus on the passion we have for it and how we want to make the lives of our customers greater. From what I saw in class when sharing our designs I was surprised at how amazing everyone did. Each design would improve my life and is a great Idea. I think this class really brought the designers out in all of us.

Week 9

This week I learned that unintended consequences can turn out to be good consequences. Thus that even if you have a bad idea or design it can lead you to something new and better. Thinking outside of the box can help you broaden your expectations for yourself.

Hello world!

WEEK 2
week 3 I learned about the value of emotion When working in design. Using emotion to get a better understanding of your clients needs and wants can transform the process of your design to better suit them. Stories are a great way to show emotion And inspire ideas. The story share capture is a great way for designers to share experiences and get ideas and inspiration about designs.
This week I learned How design is a way of connecting things and ideas and can be called a design bridge. I also learned that when creating a brief allow yourself room to grow or change and don’t make it so complex. It was also nice to see how a company uses a story board so I got a better picture of how it is used.
This week I connected to the video Fashion is fuel for innovation. It is something I never thought about but so many things have been influenced and changed because of fashion from inventions to politics. I think today many pass fashion off as a fad but there are so many ways fashion is still revolutionizing the world.
This week We went deeper into Human centered design and how human connection influences design. How a nurse holding someones hand to comfort them led designers to create a single hand held device for nurses to multitask while comforting their patient. How their can be multiple designs for a chair all different but serving the same purpose of allowing someone to sit, and how fashion influences the design of the future we want to live in.
week 7

In week 7 we dive into prototyping. For me is was the process that really solidified my ideas, quite literally. I actually built my design in a small scale version and drew up concept ideas and it showed me what my final product would look like. In the shape of design we learn that a product should only work well and look nice but provide a memorable experience. Finding the balance between detail and simplicity. I related this back to a quote from week 2 shape of design chapter 2 ” do not make something unless it is necessary and useful, but if it is both don’t hesitate to make it beautiful.”
