This week I have been finalising my Brief one work and making sure that I have all grounds covered for presenting the panels into a final outcome. This has been my primary focus as I have had a lot of work to get through at college this week. Time comes and goes by so quickly, if I feel like I am struggling to keep on track, but it’s fine I’ll make it work.
This weeks lecture notes
- Design process methods:
- Bruce Archer – 1963
- Broke the design process down into key stages
- took the idea of intuitive and cognitive to create a design process.
- Brian lawson
- Created a process model that worked on the idea of following a flow diagram
- Thought the creative process could be boiled down to: Analysis -> Synthesis -> Evaluation
- Created a process model that worked on the idea of following a flow diagram
- Modern day process models are less scientific and are and can be adapted to business changes
- The double diamond process model
- Bruce Archer – 1963
- Made up of four stages within the whole design model
- Discover
- Start of the project
- where a thought or idea starts
- Commonly sourced from a discovery
- phase of divergent thought
- usually where a question, problem or hypothesis starts
- Define
- Definition stage
- project development starts
- filtering and discarding of ideas that don’t work
- Develop
- Development stage
- Test of ideas happens
- visual management occurs
- collaboration happens here
- Deliver
- delivery of outcome
- idea has been finalised and launched
- final testing happens
- evaluation of design outcome
- final conceptualisation
- Show a successful response to the discover stage.

I think that this lecture was really interesting and has allowed me think about how I work as a designer. What methods I use and how I approach a project for design. I would say that I struggle to follow an exact process. I have a natural order of working but I find it gets more chaotic and insane the more I think about it.
