OUGD504 (Brief 01): Session One - the design process

Today we were given the first brief since our return to college, entering the second year of the course.

"My design process" is a week long brief that requires us to design and produce a leaflet that describes our understanding of the design process and how we apply this process to our own work.

In today's session we produced (in pairs) a mind map of initial thoughts on what should be considered and included in the design process, which was later refined into a flow chart structure.  By doing this exercise it became clear that the design process often repeats and goes back on itself, making the structure non-linear and often using repeat methods at different stages in the process.









I made some notes about my own design process to help when writing the content for my leaflet:





By seeing everyone's results of their mind maps for the design process, it helped a lot when trying to put together a method that was specific to me.
