My Personal Methodology

RESEARCH:
Talk to as many people as possible. Don't keep your work a secret.
"I'm working on a project about ..."
"Oh, really? My cousin is an expert in that field"

Explore the visual world. ICFF, museums, stores

Listen to your intuitive mind. Keep a notebook by the bed.

Design for a specific user. Imagine an old lady using your product.

PRODUCTION:
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.

Use the computer last.

Eliminate distractions.

Work with intensity.

Methodologies - 2nd Draft

Design Methodologies 2nd Draft from view

Notes from class - May 22

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.
