Final Year Product Design

Further Sketching Work and a Meeting

So today our tutorial group met once again to discuss where we were at with our project, something which seems to be becoming a weekly thing…

It was interesting to see how everyone’s projects have moved on and I found it useful to see how other people were tackling problems.

I feel like I am really starting to get some interesting ideas for solutions now and yesterday’s random mix up, where we were told to discuss our projects with other people from different tutorial groups, was surprisingly useful. Although it was generally nice to run through my project with other people on my course who didn’t already know my project, it was specifically helpful when one group member brought up the point about products inside vehicles. This idea, although seemingly obvious, hadn’t really occurred to me previously and so I feel it was able to further expand the range my range of work. I was able to bring this point up in our meeting today as well as further discussing my new Helmet camera and the research it has allowed me to undertake.

By utilising this point, I have now been able to further expand my ideas sketching. I do however still feel like my ideas are seeming to stay on the obvious side of things and I do in a way feel like I am limiting my creativity sub consciously somehow…
