Presentation - Week 12

I presented today despite being taken over by nerves. My presentation was short and concise, just explain my 4 main touch points and how they relate to the 5 ways of well-being.

I received positive feedback from class mates.

I spent the rest of the afternoon finalizing my dossier for the final submission.

Design refinement - Week 11

Session 1&2:

Today is all about refining our designs. I am in the final stages with my app screens and over all design process, getting opinions off of friends, those I know who have been bullied in their workplace and tutors.

Design process - Week 10

Session 1:

Today is an interim, I dont have much finalized work to show but I discussed my concepts and app screens with my fellow class mates and tutors to gain some clarity.


Session 2:

I decided to make quite big design changes to my designs, cleaning up the colour scheme and layout to make the app more attractive to the audience.

Design process - Week 9

Session 1:

Leslie Tergas from ThinkPlace came to speak today on inspirational designing.

We are now at the stage of building and refining.
I have designed my stickers and posters that will advertise my app Employ Aid, my stickers have gone through many developments to get to a stage where I am satisfied with them.



Session 2:

In studio I am continuing with my app wire frames, determining what is needed in my app and what is unnecessary. Talking to Lee and Mark has helped a lot with staying on the right track.

Exchange

For my final exchange I turned up to my groups meeting place in the old museum and no one was there, so there was not much I could do about this.

Design process - Week 8

Session 1:

Today Elizabeth Goodwin from the ministry of social development came to talk to us about inspirational design and how it can provoke positive change.

In class I continued to brainstorm and gain feedback from peers and tutors.





Session 2:

Today I worked on my point of view statement.
We have been introduced to the journey map we must complete for this assignment, which gives us an idea of our users experience throughout.

Prototyping as designing - Week 7

Session 1:

Todays lecture was on design thinking provocations
Sam joined us in class to go over the 5 ways of well-being and provocations

At this point I am still brainstorming my design ideas for my workplace bullying brief. It is proving harder than expected when I have think of ways to combat this serious issue.

Once again talking to my fellow class mates helps to gain a fresh perspective.




Session 2:


Today we are introduced to prototyping. With the important process of prototyping, test, iterate in order to get genuine feedback on our conceptual designs.

On our table we focused on testing our ideas on each other, at this point I still feel quite far behind but giving others feedback has proved helpful for my project too.
