In this first project of second semester, we were given a week to create an artifact that represented our own personal "design manifesto" based on research and what we have learned up to this point.
my manifesto:
design is everywhere- even in the everyday. design should have meaning and purpose in order to influence a better quality lifestyle for humans. the experimentation and development stages in design should be celebrated, as these processes are what allow designs to become the best they can. the artifact i have created is a container for ideas and endless possibilities. its hidden compartment symbolizes the idea that good design requires trial and error, mistakes, and failures, and that good design does not appear out of thin air- it is a learning process.
This project was a great way to take a step back and really make sense of all we have learned about design in our iarc journey so far. It really made me think about the process of designing something- laying it out in steps, and think about what exactly is important to me. I hope this project, the process, and my artifact will help trigger my memory when I get stuck in the future. Next we will be beginning our first 3 week project- "a place to bathe."
