Day 2

When we first step into class today, we were given 2 Questions to discuss in our group.

1) Steps in Design Process
2) Role Of a Designer

We sat in our group and discussed. After the discussion of the question, Siew Cheng brief us more in depth on our MOI Project 1 assessment criteria as all of us seem confused about it. After explaining the brief, she carried on explaining on the question she gave. She told us that interim 1 would be to confirm our final ideas and to elaborate on why we have chosen the idea and to present to the lecturer and interim 2 would be presenting the progress on our chosen ideas to the lecturer. Lastly, she explained to us the process of a Design Problem before arriving at a solution.

Design Problem

A clear statement that gives the general outline of the problem to be solved, as well as the purpose of the proposed solution.

Design Process
1)Research
-Quantitative Research -Qualitative Research
2)Explore
3)Challenge
4)Validate
5)Solution

Research
Quantitative Research
- Research from many different group of people.
Qualitative Research
-Research that ask quality question so that we would achieve quality answer.

Explore
Come out with few ideas to the problem.

Challenge
To choose an idea out of the few ideas we have

Validate
To see whether the chosen is working.
If its working, show how it is working.
If there's problem, show the problem and how are we going solve it.

Solution
After solving all the above process

Actually, i personally feel that the process does not stop after we have arrive at the solution. In fact, the process should start again after we had the solution to see if there's any loop holes and whether it's the best solution.
