Hi All,

It’s been a long time between drinks!

Two years flies by when you are having fun at Uni that’s for sure! So what am I going to talk about? Well… this is my final semester (whoo hoo!) and this core unit requires a journal, documenting what we learn in and out of class.

So I think I should stop waffling and get on with it. What did we learn in week 1? Design process – the organisation. Collaboration was with a group of graphic designers so we could get different perspectives.

Design Process

Found another image on the web from Stilux Architecture Design & Renovations (2011) on how they would use a design process for their client.

I loved the in depth details and responsibilities that one might have if  given a huge project that this would be handy as a reminder so nothing gets left out which can cause major upheaval.

The key to this I believe is COMMUNICATION – there are no surprises for anyone if everybody knows what’s going on. It can be rather embarrassing and detrimental to yourself and to your firm if something major was not communicated in the design process.

And on that note, signing off for this week.
Have a good week.

Dawn
