.::The Design Process::.

Today we went over our proposed topics, we presented the topic we are interested in covering. Professor Gomes went over the Design Process of this project (graph left). He explained that the first part of the project is what we are doing these few first weeks, introducing topic, identifying problem and purpose, making assumptions, defining keywords, and arriving a hypothesis. This phase can be part of the hear stage of the human values. The second part is research, validation, and processing, this phase is empathy. Methods that are performed in this phase should also be implemented in the third part of the design process. Here we create input to our topic. The third part is ideation and creation. Here development of the topic is made. Information of who, what, how, is presented; brainstorming, organizing and generating ideas also takes a big part of this phase. The last part is implementation, this is the delivery phase. Assets, findings, analysis and solutions are presented.

The graph above is another version of the Design Process, shown in three phases, this graph is provided by +ACUMEN and IDEO.ORG.

Both of these graphs help organize and plan for the research design project.
