Interview 2 - Feedback on the Ideate Stage

 After the Ideate stage, I conduct an interview with my uncle Varun Lokhande who is a young adult working in the IT sector for the past 15 years. His work is related to interacting and empathizing with people and therefore he visits many offices. He also frequently visits banks for personal work.

In the second interview with Mr. Varun, I took his feedback on my 5 thumbnail sketches. Firstly, I explained my concept of sketches to him and further took his feedback on which one out of the five he liked. I also asked him what he liked in the design and how can it be further improved.

He liked ideas 1,3 and 4 and further choose idea 4 justifying his reason that it’s more suitable according to my criteria that is easy to clean, protection from the virus, and comfortable. He further gave me suggestions on what can be improved in the design. We discussed on how upgrading the material can improve the product efficiency and overall look as well.

To know more in detail about our discussion do have a look at the video above.

Thank you for reading the blog and do comment down below on what you think of the feedback.

Build - Prototyping Stage

Prototype improves the overall understanding of the design. A rapid prototype helps to illustrate the final product, allowing to comprehense the product's function and target audience. A slight shift in proportions can make a huge difference and completely change the look and function of a product. Every product has a target audience, and at the end of the day, the target audience is going to have the final say. Prototypes allow user testing, which improves designs with valuable feedback about the product. Below is my prototype which is built to understand the arrangement and stability of the design. I used cardboard and translucent pannels to build the prototype. Through rapid prototyping, I identified few issues with the design. The wood logs which are substituted with cardboard are not supported when they meet the polycarbonate partition. For the solution, metal joints can be attached to support and fix the logs with the partition. Thank you for reading my blog. Do share your fe...

Week 3 - Design Challenge

In this semester, we are given the topic to design (solution and process) something which is helpful and plays a vital role in the health and wellness of a world in need. The design may include any type of design that helps people stay safe, connect with others, and face the challenges ahead. There were three sub-topics to choose from. I choose Human-Centric Principle: Product/Industrial/Furniture design. I decided to design furniture that is comforting and embraces social distancing. The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has affected our daily lives and has changed our way of living. Being safe is now the fundamental need of the hour. Our whole idea of living, working, and going out is now distinct and social distancing, isolation, and being self-sufficient is now the new normal. The world is now slowly adapting to life amidst the pandemic and designers are rethinking ways to provide designs and innovations that fits the new world. To design furniture for the covid-19 pandemic, I needed to...

Iterate Stage

 Our work is meant to constantly fail every time our “solutions” are confronted with the multiple questions that reality is composed of, but it’s not a pointless effort. The iterative stage is a crucial stage. With your user research, you have identified the user’s needs and have to generate ideas according to their feedback.  Similarly, I took the feedback from my target user through an interview reviewing my sketches from the ideate stage. Through the feedback and suggestions, I further developed idea four from my sketches into a detailed concept idea.   I altered the materials of the design and added few important details like metal frames and joints to support the structure. Conducting the interview with my user helped me identify the problem and further improve the design.  Thankyou you for reading my blog. Let me known in the comment section below what you feel about my concept development.
