Design Process – Part 1 : The Brief

We were tasked to curate a report that includes the following sections :

• An introduction to the problem and overview of the identified opportunity

  • Take the position that the prospective client is new to our topic/case study and explain concisely the problem we have identified and the opportunity it presents.
    

• Proposed digital tooling & technology

• Explain to the client what format and digital tooling will your solution explore/use.
  

• Scope and limitations of the project

• Manage the client's expectations - what we will and will not explore or develop within this stage of the project.

• Execution plan

• Break the project down into smaller milestones or phases -  Explain to the client what we will achieve at each stage.
  

• A timeline or execution schedule

• Graphically explain the previous step and identify how long will each of these stages will take and perhaps who in the team will be working on these stages.
  

• Financials / Fee proposal

• Provide an estimate to the client of how much funding this project requires. Include an estimation of hours at each stage, identify any additional resources, travel, collateral costs. Include a grand total including GST.

The First Deliverable: Project Proposal

Design Process – Part Two : The Digital Solution

We were tasked to use our project proposal and execution plan (from Part 1) into a functional prototype for showcase and presentation to a professional panel. Solutions put forward by the group are to be “digital” in format and experience. We were encouraged to synthesise a solution from a range of design domains such as service design, experience design, gamification, UI/UX and or interaction design.

We were also tasked to go through the outlined stages twice throughout our project span:

• Step 0: Understanding the brief and making assumptions

• Step 1: Map, visualise and reverse engineer the problem

• Step 2: Identify gaps in knowledge, tools and prioritise actions

• Step 3: Iterate potential features and solutions

• Step 4: Decide on the best solution

• Step 5: Build our prototype

• Step 6: Test with 5 x Target users

• Step 7: Learnings and reflections
