TOPIC: VISUALIZATION

Challenge and selection

The tool which I used in design thinking is visualization or can be called as  visual thinking. Visualization refers to mental recalling of things and moments.  solutions. It gives a learning mindset and broad repertoire to look for possible  solutions so I choose this topic for my college group projects in which I look for  various responses given by individual when asked questions and I note down  all the responses and make a comparison sheet to analyse the difference  closely on behavioural patterns of individual. This process helps in defining the  scope, boundaries, key elements and results in giving out the main points,  areas of improvement and the solution.

Application

First, I list down all the facts that I found out after comparing the responses of  all the individuals through translation of information into graphical  presentation. I can also use a straw man graphic which is simple and can be  made by simple shapes and icons on the internet. The data can be provided by  the professor or can be found out in the books and other relative materials.  For choosing the topic we have been provided with flexibility by our professors    and we are given a broad scope of topics out of which we have to pick out the  most relatable topic. If the required data/information is not available, then  looking it for in the internet and directly consulting my professors serve my  motive for data collection. It is by the charts and pictures that we understand  the information and decide what must be presented in the project and what all  information will be needed to know more about the topic chosen.

Because it is a group project so all the members of the group choses a time slot  as per everybody’s availability and sat down with the notebooks to draw straw  man graphic along with which we directly write our ideas and contents. We all  form questions collectively that are uniform to every group member. Every  group member is then asked to write out the answers to the questions decided  earlier. The questions were:

1) According to you, the choice of the topic is appropriate or not?  2) How can the division of work be done inside the group?  3) Do all the members need to do individual work or a group should

together do the work?

4) What key insights you can suggest adding on the topic?

The team/members have to answer these questions in a fixed time, say 10  minutes and then they have to present their answers to the whole team giving  out their ideas and thoughts about how to go about the project. Everyone can  discuss among themselves or with others to come to conclusion and choosing  the best solution. Everybody has given the chance to say his points  independently of other members. This helps in bring out more ideas and create  a sense of belonginess and attitude of handling responsibilities among group  members which is required for working in a group project.

Insight and approach

exercise helps a lot in group projects as we get a bundle of ideas. This exercise  helps everyone put their thoughts on a graphic presentation and get a clear  understanding and work towards solving the problem. The output that we get  from this activity are the shared insights and shared learning to develop shared  perspective and work in a collaborative manner. This straw man graphic is a  starter for a conversation. This also helps in gaining new insights and knowing  everyone’s perspective and consider them to collectively work towards the  completion of the project. This in turn provides us with the data and  information that we need for our project.

To conclude I appreciate the learning and insights I have made about  visualization and I plan to use visualization as a tool for design thinking  activities. In the end I used the combined feedback I got by the group decisions  and work together to complete the group project.
