Our group was in agreement that the double diamond diagram did a nice job describing the typical design process in general. If we were to modify it, we might add a feedback loop to capture how the process is often not linear. Part of the development process involves using learnings to help redefine project goals and scope. The process becomes a bit more cyclic in the middle:
We then found a really nice visual representation that captured our thinking in Bill Buxton’s Sketching User Interfaces. As you can see, Buxton characterizes the design process in a diamond-like manner with breadth and depth phases. But he also accounts for more iterative cycles throughout:
Looking forward to giving this process a try.

My quick indie project is a project from Urban Fiction class in the Spring of 2013. It is called Change the Story and it main goal is to bring awareness about the street harassment on the street and creating a community of supporters who will not blame the women or the men being abused, but will take an action to change the story of the person being harassed. Street harassments happen often in the subway platform and I think it is important to tell the story so that people will feel empathetic and change their view on the topic.
