πŸ“ Penn Week 7a – Design Process

πŸŽƒ Announcements

Calen Chung, a recent graduate of Parsons School of Design, will give a presentation next week! Please review her work and think of a few questions. She will talk about her thesis project, her time in school, and what the first year of working has been like.


πŸ‘€ Design Process

Most professional environments elect to create a design presentation with research, a few concepts, and design sketches. In my experience, this is a fantastic way to explore different ideas, and also to make sure that your ideas are coherent. It also allows the client to react to different pieces, and to help facilitate a conversation around your work.Β 

While this is part of a professional work flow, having a clearly documented process allows you to have more clarity about your work, too, and is helpful for getting feedback in the classroom and beyond.
