LEARNING REFLECTION:

1. What did you know about this week’s topics before this week?

(I now realize that I mixed up the dates. This weeks topics were actually Needfinding & The Final Project + How to Brainstorm. Oops!)

• The Final Project + How to Brainstorm
  • The Final Project is a group project that requires us to create a digital interface that enhances the lives of a specific user population. Our final design should address a need that our population faces that has no current existing solutions.
• Storyboarding
  • Storyboarding is used by designers to help map out the flow of users and the path they will follow when using a product? That’s my guess.

2. Comparing what you know now to what you knew before, name at least two

important things that you learned this week.

• I learned many new things regarding the semester project. It’s collaborative and it’s worked on over time throughout the semester (that’s what those checkpoints are for).
• I learned that it’s important that we find the best hill when working on our projects, or any design work for that matter. It’s important that we pick the right design so that we’re able to best meet the needs of our target population.

3. How can you apply what you learned to your Semester Project or beyond? Put

differently, what rule(s) can you create for yourself so that you can benefit from

this knowledge later?

• Take myself out of the equation
• I am not my user
• Spend time searching for the right hill
• Usefulness > usability
• Be okay, prepared, and excited to fail!

4. Describe what you know about next week’s topics in a sentence or two.

• Storyboarding
  • Storyboarding is used by designers to help map out the flow of users and the path they will follow when using a product? That’s my guess.
