I feel that this project was one of my most successful to date as, in our group, we created an innovative and useful concept that could one day become an everyday healthcare item.We discovered a gap in the market and made use of existing similar products as inspiration to create a much more advanced and usable next generation device.
I believe that the way I carried out my role in the project to be much more professional than in previous work as I carefully planned out each step that we had to take in order to develop our idea to the best of our ability. I took responsibility for combining our individual efforts and organizing them into a logical order for our final presentation. This included learning how to use photoshop in order to edit and colour sketches to create an aesthetically pleasing and easy to follow layout, for the best possible design communication. By doing so, I have developed my skills of using computers to enhance my design work and have learned valuable techniques that I will be able to implement in the future.
Again a Facebook group and chat was used in order to communicate to each member of the group from a distance as well as sending each other work for discussion and review. This was important as it ensured that every member was on the same page in regard to the direction of development and allowed us to keep track of what work had been done and what steps were to be taken next. After I created the final presentation, I was able to use this to send the work to Leon who then used it as a basis for the group blog. This allowed us to keep the style of our work consistent, something that is particularly important when marketing a product through the use of corporate branding.
The project could have been improved by creating a better prototype that would communicate our design intent more successfully. This however would have taken much longer and having only two weeks for the whole project, was not something that would have been possible this time around.
