Reflection 3: Design thinking, where are we now?
Through this last project we have had a great opportunity to go through the design process while creating ideas for ways to portray the Design Studio during the Sauder Open House. I think we really made use of the “Ask. Try. Do.” method to help generate ideas and create an open house that would work […]
Reflection 3: Idea Generation
The most recent design process that we went through as a class focused on finding a solution to solve how the class would decorate the Design Studio Room and entertain visitors for the Sauder School of Business Open House. Our team began with idea generation. It took a few minutes for the team to start […]
Reflection 3: designing my design process
Two weeks ago we got to work in class by groups to come up with some ideas or what our class could do for Sauder Open House on March 1st. We had only two hours and some constraints, so we had to be fast and efficient. We began with observation of the situation: the shape […]
Reflection 3 – Design: It’s about finding the middle ground…when no ground is in sight.
This week our readings were ” The Structure of Reflection-in-Action” by Donald Schön and “Innovation as a Learning Process” by Sara L. Beckman. Though both articles were interesting, I believe Beckman provided more depth to her ideas. Amongst her innovative approach, I think that she made her point most accurately when she said “innovation means […]
Reflection 3: The Innovation Process
Our class devoted to designing ideas for Sauder’s open house on March 1st proved to be another engaging experience. During the beginning of our design process, our group struggled to agree on a number of ideas. This was mostly due to the fact that our group was highly focused on being creative and captivating with […]
Reflection 3: Design Process Inception
Our most current in-class assignment was to create and prototype an idea for the Sauder Open House on March 1. More specifically, we had to demonstrate a typical day in the D-Studio to the guests that will be passing through the studio. Seeing how, in my opinion, the D-Studio’s focus is on the design process, […]
Reflection 3: The Innovation Process
I think that trying to deconstruct a design and innovation process is extremely difficult, given the abstract nature of the process. However, Beckman did a good job of creating a logical matrix of our thought process. Beckman’s Innovative Process is quite interesting, but I think she discounts the fluidity with which designers can move through […]
Reflection 3: The Design Process
Last week, in class we got to work with a new group in order to come up with an idea for what our class would do for Sauder’s open house on March 1st. We were given some criteria and we were given about two hours to come up with our idea. Our group functioned well […]
Reflection 3: Gather, Define, Generate
Although there are various models illustrating the design and innovation process – ie. Moura’s ‘Ask, Try, Do’ model of design process, Schon’s Reflection-in-Action, or Beckman’s integration of the learning process and design – all of them one thing in common: design is not a one-step attempt. When I think about it, it almost seems silly […]
Let’s get some shoes! – Ask. Try. Do. Share –
I am addicted to shoes. When I shoe shop I go through a process: I ask. I try. I do. I share. All this time I thought I was design newbie, but it turns out I’ve been mirroring the design process in my daily life since becoming a shopaholic at an embarrassingly ripe young age! […]
