Today we were briefed on our first project. The final outcome of this project is to produce a leaflet that describes our design process.
To begin we did a session on understanding what exactly the design process is. In small groups we brain stormed what we though the design process was and found it to be a combination of many different factors including ideas, research, feedback and development.
After writing all we could about it, we were told to condense the design process into a flow chart, however I chose to condense mine in the form of a list as I found my process to be rather linear as opposed to a series of flowing options. I also saw my design process as two separate stories, the expectation from staff, from professionals and what I also hope to/think I will do, and the reality of letting myself down, letting things slip and ignoring common sense, so i thought it was important to document both of these.

| Example of flow charts |
After we had done this the group was then told to emulate the flow charts in the form of folding paper: making the 2D chart into a 3D object. I felt it important to communicate the split I feel between my dreams and reality in relation to the design process and so I created objects that were very much separate, either with two mirroring sides or two completely different objects. I feel the two models that communicated my design process the clearest were the neatly folded origami flower and the screwed up paper ball: what I hope to achieve and what I end up with.
