Yet another Monday morning led us all to the unwanted class. Unaware about the course content and the upcoming assignments, we dragged ourselves to start up with a new module. Design process, as the name suggested, would be something to do with DCC and all that we know. But to our surprise, it was something more than just the name. It was much more interesting, exciting and something to do with our day to day life which we often ignore or take it for granted.
First day started off with simply finding an alternate to a HANDKERCHIEF. We came across various features and aspects which are often ignored. Challenging ourselves and finding out opportunities in the existing design was the task for the day. Grouping ourselves in a group of 4 and then redesigning the same product led us all to healthy discussion, as 15 brains worked together on the same object, with different ideas and perspectives. Creating a Blog and sharing our view points about ‘Why do we need design’ was what we achieved at the end of the day.
Our new challenge for the day was to purchase a product worth Rs 10/- Randomly picked objects was what our forth coming days were based on. Re-designing the same object, keeping the same value was the challenge. The changes brought in the individual objects proved the opportunities in the existing ones. The entire process helped us in understanding individuals’ perspectives and approaches towards coming up with an innovative product which satisfies the consumers’ need and purpose.
