Making strides

Last week in FormKurs, I presented my analog sketches and my professors said it seemed that I "lost my way" in terms of design. I kept their feedback in mind and when I presented my work this week, it was well received with one of them calling me a genius. Makin strides.

Step 1: Research

Yesterday we made our first presentation to Bohle to discuss our research findings on the existing market for suction lifters, target groups including users and uses, task analysis of packaging and product, current and future technologies, materials, and ergonomics. We also presented areas of opportunities we could focus on as we get into the design work. They were very impressed by our analytical approach and happy to have some critical feedback! Gold stars for everyone ⭐

I need to learn German.

First official day of studio with the professor today. In one word: lost. Not completely, because luckily there’s a girl in our class who is kindly acting as translator, but man do I need to learn German–fast.

The first step of this project is research so we split into teams to gather information on different topics, then shared that information today. The ratio of German to English spoken was probably about 90:10. Yikes. This semester may be a bit more of a challenge than I anticipated.
