week 12 : Design for the future

I was really excited and sad at the same time because this was my final week of design it.I was excited for the last class for design it but at the same time I was sad because such an interesting unit is coming to an end.

we had class for few hours because Professor was guiding us about the assessment 3 and its details.So he gave one final idea about it's marking rubric. We were informed to complete self peer & assessment and also to give feedback about the unit through 'HAVE YOUR SAY' on Moodle.

I learned to use Design as aesthetics in my business and my life.I learned wider applicability of design thinking,

I learned this and this caught my attention .Good design is aesthetic,"The aesthetic quality of a product is integral to its usefulness because products we use every day affect our person and our well-being. But only well-executed objects can be beautiful.” This was said by Deter Rams.

I learned how to use Aesthetics in Design and elements of Aesthetics.I understood that Aesthetics play an important role in life in Career development,impressing clients and managers,office furnishing and child care etc




I understood that Full on Design thinking is not useful for most of the cases.But useful for cases like

• Exploring unknown (rather than certain) possibilities
• Creating value/differentiation that does not yet exist
• Exploring growth opportunities in an unfamiliar context
• Solving complex problems, especially if they have been ‘unsolvable’ through traditional methods
  
  
  I learned  some idea about continuous design. I learned how to use design thinking to redesign an industry.I gained knowledge about emergent approach and deliberate planning strategy process.
  
  
          I understood that Design Thinking  is an alternative and very useful approach to supporting innovative, creative and entrepreneurial thinking. It is not the only option but complements the more ‘traditional’ business approaches.It is more than a current buzz word and likely to become increasingly important in career and business development.
  
  
                   

So Design it unit coming to an end.I thank our Unit Coordinator Stephanie Macht and Our Professor Firew Beshah for designing such a wonderful Unit.This unit was well structured and the all activites included were really engaging.The study materials provided are of high standard.This unit has changed my approach to solve problems using design thinking and upgraded my designing thinking skills.
