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.

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...

Final Prototype - User Interaction

  Integrating prototyping into your product development process can be transformational. It can make a richer experience, and enable the user to empathize with the product.  The point of a prototype is to have a tangible visual representation of the solutions discussed throughout the design process. Instead of repeating the information discussed in the ideation phase - a prototype acts as a model that takes into consideration everything discussed.  Having this model allows me as a designer to validate my concepts by sharing the prototype with the users. After observing the user interaction with the mockup model, I made few modifications and then finally prototype was built. The materials used in the final model were polycarbonate sheets and a wooden bench. The polycarbonate was sourced from a small-scale roofing factory where the extra polycarbonate sheets which were wrongly cut or minorly defective were available at a very reasonable price. Whereas I searched for wooden ...
