Design Process – Amy, Effy, Melody, Sunnie

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.

Week Two: Third places, public spaces, and building shared experiences

Class recap

We spent the first part of class discussing Oldenburg’s article, Our Vanishing 3rd places, then everyone presented their Quick Indie Projects.

Assignments

  1. Reading – Everything Sings Intro, Denis Wood
  2. Assignment – Observe and Document a Third place, present it back to the class through multiple senses. Work in groups, each student responsible for documenting a different sense. Feel free to impair a sense if it helps you focus(blindfold, earplug, big mittens). Compare your observations and create a presentation that represents the information through multiple senses. Use time, or choose another axis to plot your observations against.
  3. Reading –  Double diamond design process. Read these articles and diagram out your version of the design process that you will follow with your team.
    1. Design Council
    2. Double Diamond
    3. Diagram

How to Post 

By 5pm on Monday 9/22, each group should collaboratively create two posts:

1. A collection of maps from the third place observation assignment for the Third Place Maps category

Mini’s quick indie project

quickindieproject01 quickindieproject02

 

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.
