Design and Research Processes

In my secondary school I had drawing class there we were already thought some form of design process, but I was aimed at art only, not at product design. This makes it very different, but I am used to apply a process and therefore I understand the TU/e design process better. This is why I think I am in the awareness state right now.

We did a lot of research in our project. We had an interview with an expert, we did a lot of research on the internet and we measured and made things our self’s. My iterative can still be improved by not only doing research on the internet by reading books and the internet. I still think I can do much better if it comes to researching because the opportunities are infinite. I think I am still in an awareness state.

My dyslexia is in the way for me to be able to read very much scientific tests. as specially book tend to be this way and the internet is more to the point and often offer more information in a shorter piece of text.

'You learnt the steps in the design process but were not able to reflect this directly in your work. In your subsequent insecurity, you were more focused on showing your design skills than defining a rounded design process through iteration and experimentation.' Coach: Janine Huizenga

In the beginning of the project we did not really had an idea where we were heading. After a coach meeting we made a planning that helped us to guide or project. After the midterm demo day we made a new planning to make it clear for ourselves and the coach about what we have to do.

In the project I did research about the measurements of the final prototype. I used the man of Vitruvius to get a sense of the proportions and define my lengths.
