After making a flowchart to the various ways my design process takes place, I believe there are certain main points in my design process that have to be achieved so the work is completed.
1 main focus point to my design process is making sure I am in a comfortable working environment. If I find myself under pressure with loads of people about me, I struggle, I like to have the comfort of a room, or studio, to freely work at my brief without the distractions. I find that having distractions really affects the way I work, changing both the quantity of work, and the quality.
After creating the flow chart, I found out that my design process if very planned and ordered. One point has to be finished before the next problem can be started. It takes time and effort going through the points and staying on the path to finishing the design is needed. I like this ordered technique, I believe it works for me and is the only way I can work.
My flowchart has 4 main aspects that need to be considered
- Research: looking at the tone of voice, context of the product, all my initial research for the brief, creating mind maps to produce a vast amount of ideas and theoretical research.
- Initial Ideas and Sketches: after the research I will have a range of ideas and ways my design can be taken, taking my research, I will sketch up my initial ideas, make thumbnails, and create a range of designs that my product can take me.
- Mockups: having a range of sketches that can be turned into designs, I will now take my strongest ideas and mock them up, create digital outcomes for them, and see which my strongest design is.
- Critiques: having initial sketches and mock ups to hand, it is now time for some feedback to see where my designs can be taken from there, having feedback is always a good stage when I am struggling to progress further, so some feedback from other creative minds really pushes a design further.
