During the tutorial we discussed the non linear element of designing, as well as create a bridge out of paper.
After some quick brainstorming and planning we began to build the bridge. Once we started building we were in a constant loop of thinking of ways to make our design stronger than reflecting on previous weaknesses we had experienced with our bridge. All while keeping the purpose and time constraint in mind while building. In the end however our idea we originally had in mind had completely changed. It is very hard to come up with a clear cut design since there is too many factors that cannot be certain unless extensive testing is done to find out what's weak or strong. This is the non-linear element of our planning that I learnt through creating the bridge, since we may discover new and more efficient ideas while testing. Which is both equally fun and frustrating.
In the context of creating signs for a hospital for the homework. You would first consider the clients and the purpose. Then move onto brainstorming what would make a suitable sign, then coming up with a rough The next process is testing multiple designs in order to test their functionality. The process of testing can branch off into many different options and it is hard to predict that it will end up to the end product as planned. Then you constantly reflect on past designs to improve your current design, then when the current design does not work, you loop back to reflecting. Eventually you end up with a improved version of your planned project which might be similar or completely different the to plan.
Basically the design process is endless and keeps going in a circle until you come to a conclusion that you are satisfied with. How you come up with this conclusion can be done in many different ways. Although a design process will mostly start with some research and planning out a rough outcome.
