Week 7: Project 1 Feedback

This week we discussed and received feedback about our Project 1 drafts.

Feedback for my assignment 
- Clarify introduction
- Narrow down research
- Evaluate concept (limitations, will it work?)

Upon reflection this assignment proved to be quite a challenge. I found comprehending the outline to be difficult in regards to defining a problem. This was because the brief addressed a large problem that is influenced by a variety of individual factors (Beth Bentley, Adam & Eve, 2012), meaning it was difficult to pin point and choose one angle. Finding relevant research to support and redefine the problem was a trial and error process but became easier the more research and knowledge I acquired. My ideation process was easier to develop due to the depth of research previously done creating a solid foundation for my final solution. This assignment forced me to look at my own design thinking process (be aware of it)  and how to comprehend whats starts off as a mess of ideas on paper, to a cohesive layout that communicates to an audience. (Raghavendra Reddy, Gudur, 2014) If I could do something different next time I would perhaps lay it out a little differently maybe in a landscape layout and I would spend more time on my ideation process so there is more ideas to choose from later when I am refining concepts to a possible solution.
