Reflection
Last week we had our last presentation for our last project. I think our presentation was pretty good. Through this semester, I learned how to think as a designer; what's the design process; and how to work with a group of people with different background. Generally speaking, this class is really helpful and interesting. Projects are fun. And most important, I'm really happy that I could work with all of my teammates and instructor.

This week we visited our site. We visited the target store located at dinky town. We got chance to met their manager to interview them. We asked them many questions that we prepared during weekend to help us get the overall background information of our project. This visit was really helpful. Based on those reality information we got, we could narrowed our concept. We decided to design something that increase more awareness of recycling plastic. Overall, this past week was productive.

We started thinking our project this week. Our group worked together really well in previous project, and I think we are working even better now. Following the design process we learned in class, we quickly brainstormed out our mind map and narrowed our focus. Now our project is in a good track. I feel really good that things I learned in class is actually helping me a lot.

This week's guest speaker was really helpful. Good design always came form observation of life. Finding out what common problems people have is a really good example of starting a design. Big successful always came after tons of small little things and efforts. So we shouldn't let small problem slip off around us. Feedbacks are important for refine your design, because different people see different things. Others opinions always help you see things you may never notice. One more thing I learned from the lecture is that design is serving for people, so design should back to people.

This week's presentation was really interesting. I think our group had a really good presentation. Our classmates seems liked our project and the question part was really helpful. Audience's question helped us present our project more complete, so people could understand our "standing chair" better. Also, people asked us some question that we never thought about, this kind of question help us perfect our prototype. I saw the importance of prototyping during the presentation. The prototype is the examination of idea and also the visual display helps other understand your idea better. Watching other groups presenting was also fun. I saw lots of good ideas and good design. My favorite was the vibrating bracelet, I think this design is really meet the need of people. And they really go into the problem and figure out the solution. Generally speaking, the presentation week was awesome.

This week's lecture was really interesting and helpful. Those category she mentioned in class was helpful for design process. And looking into nature for solution for design problem was a great idea too. Lots of inventions and innovation was originally from nature. We were came from nature, and nature is our best teacher. As for our project, I think we are in a good position. Everyone have their own role and part of the project to do. This teamwork and effort helps us finished the project efficiently and nicely. Hopefully we can present a great presentation to the whole class next week!

This week's guest speaking was helpful too. I hear lots of importance of empathy in design process since I became an architecture student. And I can't agree anymore that empathy is one of the most important thing helps you generate good idea & Design. The guest speaker also talked about their community design which I think they are telling us that communication between designer and customer; prototyping involving actual experience is very important. The presentation gave us a lot of good ideas about how to make our own prototype better and perfect.
