Hello everyone, I’m Edmund! :)
Today our lecturer Wahidah gave us an exercise to do. We need to do a presentation to introduce the meanings of design process, role of a designer and research process.
To me, it was like a practice as this is the first time I am working with Nadiah and Yilin as a group. So Wahidah gave us 45 minutes to do research and prepare for our presentation. During the time, Nadiah, Yilin & I went to the mac lab in our school to do research using internet.
We found a lot of information about the design process all that and kept on opening new tabs. Yilin jotted down certain important points for the presentation and Nadiah transfer all the research we have found to our powerpoint slides. I was the one who helped them to find all the websites and basically all three of us helped one another.
Finally we completed our slides but none of us have thumbdrive!!! Haha… lucky one of our classmates from the other group lent us his thumbdrive to store our work. Thanks James!
Soon, we started the presentations. Most of the groups managed to explain the design process and everything in detailed. Finally it’s our turn! We went up and started presenting what we have found. Wahidah stopped us in the middle and asked us to go back to the slides which we talked about the meaning of design process.
To our surprise, we did wrongly! Wahidah told us that we were actually talking about a designer’s process, instead of a design process. What we presented was actually how a designer should have in mind before starting a design and not how the design works in the process. The other groups managed to present it in the correct way.
We also found out that we looked at it in a different way that’s why we did not get the meaning correctly. Nevertheless, we will not give up just because of a mistake like this! (: I am glad that Wahidah pointed out our mistake as in future, we will be more careful when doing our work. Thanks Wahidah for your advice!
Even though this time round we made a mistake in our presentation, I believe that it will not affect us! Nadiah, Yilin and I will work even harder for the rest of our exercises and assignments and produce good work. I strongly believe that we can do it! :D
That’s all for today! Cya! J
