Reflective Diary Questions

What was your biggest learning that you took from this paper?
The biggest thing I learnt from this paper was thinking about empathy and making sure to design for what your audience needs rather than wants. I think this makes a major difference in terms of whether your audience will respond to your issue. Learning to develop the ideas behind the visuals seemed to be a major part of this project.

What aspect of your project are you most happy with?
I like the concept of our project and some of the imagery turned out pretty nice. However, I think that we could also improve a lot of aspects to make our project more appealing to our target audience.

Week 11

We pretty much just continued to refine our ideas further. In class we discussed the prototypes we made and how we could improve them. Also, we discussed the dossier and what we are putting in it. After that we went on to collectively write our dossier, I think it was a lot more helpful to write the dossier together, as we could see whether we both were thinking the same things about the brief and what we made.

Week 10- session 2

We just had a lecture on courses next year and went through the different touch points in the dossier for hand in. We then continued with our work in class and had feedback to apply to our work but also some more insight into what is expected in the dossier. It was also helpful to understand what is expected in terms of prototyping. The 960.gs tool came in handy since I had made most of my files in illustrator to begin with, hopefully there aren't colour issues when I import it into invision. After the critique yesterday, we finally developed a visual style that was more consistent between each of the design responses that we had. Moving ahead, we just need to finish the poster (x3), App and Website prototypes (invision). Then over the course of the week we just need to create diagrams and write content for the dossier so that we can fine tune it better in class next week.
