The applicants are going through an emotional journey as they are facing rejection. They are questioning their confidence and abilities. The project continues for the applicants to be developed to the prototype stage.
We are told that when you build a prototype you are making something real. It is what design is about and proving an idea to what it needs to be. Design starts with ideas. It comes from your memories, recollection of the mind that you get from outside and viewing the world. You as a designer have the ability to design and engineer. Communication is very important. The pitch and the visual communication are vital to succeeding as a product designer.
When it comes to getting help from outside sources it is questioned to the point as to what is really your design and what is someone else’s. Like getting ideas for logo’s should be developed from the beginning by you but it is seen to be only accepted when experts are needed in drawing or advise to develop in areas you aren’t an expert in.
Getting inspiration for a design project can come from unusual or normal things e.g from plants, nature or living. Inspiration can come from anywhere e.g. chair inspired by a leaf and water drop inspired the apple mouse. When it comes to technique it should be keep in mind that simple can be better. Philippe Starcks now selects four applicants to enhance their ideas into prototypes.
