Create a unique example of a methodology that does not overlap with other methodologies of the other students in the class.
Get specific about the methodology.
Study extreme people. Extreme users of a product. A caricature of the problem.
The same way a dominatrix dungeon is an extreme example of human interaction.
My personal methodology:
Start a project early. Complete the first draft and take a break for a day. Then look at the first draft with fresh eyes and make it better.
Eliminate distractions.
Work with intensity.
Examples of other people's methodology:
John Clease: 1991 Creativity
Open - research observe and find a solution
Closed - Concentrate on the solution, don't wander.
Bruce Mau: Don't have a picnic in the forest, instead get lost in the forest and you will observe more and take in the experience with all of your senses.
Work in teams, don't work alone - leadership comes from everywhere and everybody.
Katherine Hamnet: Educate yourself on the entire production cycle. Organic cotton
Brain > Eye propaganda. Providence. Pleasure center. Consumption.
Rational brain vs Reptile brain
Bruno Munari: Useless machines
Fail early and fail often. Share everything, start sharing now.
