Assignment 1: The Double Diamond Design Process

Reflection on Assignment 1 and Part 1:

During Part One of Unit 2 the most important things I learnt were:

  1. How to have fun in design process… I was actually quite stressed about this assignment as I was stuck not knowing what to do for ages. And as I was taking a photo of the barbie doll with the cake stand in my kitchen (context for baking) I felt joy. And not only because this was last task or this very difficult assignment, I enjoyed placing it in this conext and seeing how it works.
  2. Talking to other students and tutors/ designers helps to get your creative juices flowing.

Looking back I enjoyed the model making and lego building most. The latter was especially ‘freeing’ as I just built, not knowing what will come out of it. It was just really hard to come up with a function of my model and then creating a story. Something I need to develop – abstract creativity with a goal.

I hope what I did in this assignment is right…
