Week 1.2
3rd March
The design process and Matrix
The design process for every designer is
different, and no design process is straightforward. To help understand the design process we have
five headings to consider.
Understand:
- Understand the brief.
- Conduct research.
- Primary research – Original materials: Photographs, ask, experience, collect, observe, taste, and touch.
- Secondary research – examination of existing materials: books, magazines, articles, blogs and websites.
- Quantitative and quality.
Define - Synthesising identifying patterns
and trends.
Ideate – forming a wide range of ideas:
quantity is key
Make – Designing tangible visual forms: Prototype, Craft, Mock-up, Sketch, Code, Render, Print,
Build and refine.
Critique – Contribution to class
discussions, presentations and displaying your own work.
It was good to get an understanding of the
design process and where we should be directing our energy at each stage.
Today in our tutorials it was a good chance
to share the ideas we had generated about our activities. The critiques from my
group and the comparison to others ideas allowed me to see that the activities
I had chosen were too vague and did not stand out. I knew after this tutorial
that I had a good starting point but I needed to dig deeper and find an
activity that inspired me, and showed a unique and different perspective of
Wellington.
