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.

TEST- understand, observe, visualize and iterate.

  Testing, in Design Thinking, involves generating user feedback as related to the prototypes you have developed, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of your users.  Testing is the chance to get a product out into the world and test it in real-time. During this phase, you have a chance to see if you’ve framed the problem correctly.  Above is my recording and evaluation from the user testing. The user seems satisfied with the product and didn't have much to offer when it came to concluding drawbacks. Therefore I had to closely observe the user interaction to identify the points of improvement.  Thank you for reading my blog. Do share your views on the testing stage in the comment section below.

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...
