Design Thinking for Innovation

Reflection

Sarah Gomez    Tool – Visualization

Challenge and Selection

Þ The tool is visualization and this one is about a representation of the

information that you are thinking and helps understanding the context of  the people and patterns that you maybe have. The challenge is from my  class assignment, and it is about me creating an innovative product that  can be used in the future around year 2027.  I choose this one because it  allows me to show the product in a more graphic way, also it´s shows  how the design could be seen and how it would be sold and his entire  business model, all of this represented in a presentation with images and  everything.

Application

Þ To start, in a document I made a list with brainstorming and each one

had a description of the use and function of the products. After an  analysis, I was able to choose the best one that has all the required  points. The one I chose is about a designer mirror, which is a  programmed mirror where you have all the clothes you have in your  closet (previously you registered it in our application) and just by putting  what you want it will form sets of clothes that you can wear with that  style, and you can see how it would look like on you.

Þ Now that I have the idea of the product, I began to specify it more and

more with its business model and what it is that generates value in it.  Already with all that information, in order to give my idea to my teacher I  made a presentation which graphically explained all these concepts of  the benefits, their way of using it and everything necessary so that my  teacher can visualize my idea.

Þ In the end, we also did that presentation on video but as an

advertisement that promotes it so that it can be seen if the idea is  attractive to potential clients. My teacher, when reviewing my homework,  gave me a good grade and commented that I actually did understand the

task, besides, he said that the presentation did graphically demonstrate  the product that I was explaining and that it was very visual for people.    Insight and approach

Þ What I have learned with this challenge is that if I didn´t create an image

of the product my teacher wouldn´t understood the idea that I wanted to  show as the way it is, and also the whole process of brainstorming is a  really good idea because it allows you open more your mind and be  more able to think outside of the box, this way of express your ideas still  being a method of visualization.

Þ Overall, with this course, I learned that the four design thinking tools

helps you to give creative solutions, empathic and open for  experimentation. And my favorite part is the four questions of what is,  what if, what wow´s and what works, these ones are for understanding  more what the clients need and want.

Þ Next time I would use the storytelling in the part of the advertisement

video because when you tell a history it allows you to connect with the  emotions, character and the values of the people who use this kind of  products. For this history you need to create a moment of reflection to  leave them intrigued and interested so they would want to participate. I  believe that this tool is a good idea to use to because you can create  energy, passion and emotion with your product.
