Course Reflection 3

This week in Design 200 we focused on the steps in the design process. What was the most interesting was watching a design team, namely Ideo, come up with a new design for a shopping cart within 5 days. At first I was a little worried because if I was faced with that task I wouldn’t be so sure if 5 days would be enough. However, for Ideo this is what they do daily and to make something new in 5 days is truly testing their skill. In my opinion, the end product of the teams work was amazing. What interested me the most was that Ideo had their own version of a design process, which was letting people vent their creativity so that even abstract ideas were taken into consideration. I also found that when the team came together, all of the best ideas were put into the shopping cart. As for Design 200, I am still very interested in learning more.
