PHASE 2: Speaking from experience

After the crit, it became apparent that some form of documentation device should be implemented into my designs.
Keeping all documentation of the day/week/month on oneself as it can be re-checked, re-evaluated and easy to access.
Using craft-based design was at thumbs up also, as the involvement of stock and good illustration would look rather fetching, considering my concept/idea for some sort of dispenser seemed a good idea to make it more engaging and interactive for the first year students.
On the other hand, I did not have any mocks to show at this point, which meant I would most probably have to generate some for future crits.
However, many people manage their time in their own way, so I had to run a survey as to find out who used what where and why, as this would most definitely determine the final content/outcome.

The questions I put forward in my survey were:

"How do you manage your time? (sketchbook,post-its, etc)"

"Do y ou think you can maintain a balance of work and 'play' on the course?"

"Are there any methods you could suggest that would make this easier?"

But before I got my results, I did some more ideas/visuals, as to establish a stronger basis for the outcome.

At the end of the crit, I had a little one-to-one with Amber and she suggested that since I generate scattered ideas, I should produce 10 possible resolutions to my problem, so I did. Sorry for the small picture, if you cant see it you can see it on my photobucket album.
