Workflow

5.2.3

Reflection on practice, research tools and questioning what the changes mean:

Part 1 - Reflection

What parts of your practice make you feel most engaged and creative?

• When I start to get an idea together, once I have brainstormed my main points and start to see something take shape. Once I have an idea and I know how to do it, I find momentum in working on it and perfecting it.

When do you ‘actually’ feel like you’re designing?

• When I am in the middle of the visual process of making it. When my ideas come together and form what I envisioned or when happy accidents occur and I use them to make something new. When I have something physical I can put forward.

What pain points do you identify in your own workflow?

• Getting started. Getting the initial ideas and then figuring out whether those ideas are doable or whether I am capable. Coming up with a reasonable idea where I know how to translate it into a physical form. Knowing the relevant software and being skilled enough to use it.

What tasks or steps feel like obstacles to designing?

• Research, iterations and accessibility. Own willpower and motivation. When I leave it too long to act on an idea.

Part 2 - Research tools

What tools, techniques, or strategies did you find in your research?

• Easier, cheaper and more accessible software and websites that allow you to design. Organising files and both digital/physical work. Different skills an techniques on different software.

Part 3 - Question

Light and Shade: exploring creativity’s AI conundrum

• Emerging tools (including AI) is constantly changing what it means to be a designer, as it is becoming more about the skill in ideas and less in the execution as as technology evolves, the process to a final outcome becomes easier, simpler and much quicker. Knowing these new softwares may be a useful adaptation and sometimes even using AI to help with these skills may be useful. Using it for the time-consuming, less design tasks as compared to the thinking and ideas.
