DG000

DG000 is to make us as beginning designer familiar with the competencies of the TU/e. Every week we got a different assignment and we had to integrate this into our project and present this in front of the coaches and the rest of the groups. We got feedback on our presentation and that we applied to our project.

The first assignment was making a business model. The feedback we got was that we needed to be more specific in our product. We had to do more research because we did not have enough knowledge around our subject. To inspire us we had to think of things that inspire ourselves and how you would apply this into your own life.

The next assignment was to make a scheme of the technology that we intend to use and make an estimation of the costs. This did not go flawless because in the middle of the week we stepped over on a new plan and we had to do the assignment all over again.

Expert session three was about the form and senses of our product. Our feedback was to do a reality check. Is our product manageable? Try to interview someone from a bike repair shop, determine the customer, make a storyboard and think of how our bike is going to change form.

These are examples of things that we needed to do. Overall the assigment did not go very well. We had trouble with the time we got and worked to slow because one of our team members was a late started in the study so we had to work him in.
