Top-Down Design

What is a Top-Down Design?
   A top-down design is a way of organizing a system. Using this way of organizing a system, one can    easily see the breakdown of it, giving more insight into its sub-classes. It is a simplified version of      how a system works.  Here is an example picture of a Top-Down Design.

System

What is a system?
    A system is a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole. These parts are sub-classes of the           whole which is the main class. These sub-classes work together, to make sure that everything is in sync. For         example, a school is a system. It is divided into the Academic, Sports, and Theatre Arts Departments. Under         those departments, there are many other sub-classes. For example, Academics is divided into Math, English         and Science. 

Name Card- What did I learn from this mission?

So after creating this name card for my partner and for all my other followers, you might ask, "What did I learn?" From this mission I have learned several things. The first thing I learned, was to always ask the audience what they would like. This is because if I base everything off of what I like, then only I will like it, and nobody else will use it or look at it. This will be very bad for my product. Also I learned to make it stand out. If it does not stand out, nobody will read it, and then I will get no followers. After creating the product and looking at many others, I realized that mine was to wordy. Next time, I will make it less wordy, and more creative and well drawn. These were several of the things I have learned. 

Name Card-Epic Failures & Brilliant Comebacks

Epic Failures and Brilliant Comebacks: 

Throughout making this product I came across many failures and comebacks. My first being replicating Google.com. This was because I used this as the blueprint of my name card. When I first did this, I did it just remembering the cite, not actually looking at it and making sure that whatever I did made it look like Google. My partner saw this and she quickly told me to make sure it looked exactly like Google. To match her necessity, I looked someone up on Google, and saw what it looked like. Looking at this,  tweaked my other product and made sure it was perfect for her.  Another comeback I had was adding pictures. When I first started doing it, it was all text. It was not standing out. I realized this at the end, and to make it a little better, I added something called Google Ads, and I added 4 to 5 pictures to make sure it was good. 

Name Card- Prototype and Test

This is my final version of my product. I got feedback from my partner and she said it was really good. I changed some things from my Ideate and this time I made it great. I truly think that people will read this, not only because its fun but creative and funny. 

Name Card - Ideate

This is one of my first ideas. I am replicating Google site, and putting my name in in the Search Box. And what comes up is everything about me and all the things which come on the side our supposedly adds but are actually pictures which represent me.

Design Thinking Process--Week 1

Design Thinking Process

• Empathize
• Interview
• Ask the user or customer what he would like in the new product
• You can also use surveys to help you
• Make sure you know exactly what the customer is wanting.
• Digging Deeper
• Find the major things needed for your product
• Ask consumer/user what is necessary in the product
• Define
• What is the problem/challenge?
• What are you trying to solve
• What are some challenging things you are going to face when building your product
• This is based from the Empathize stage
• How will you overcome these challenges?
• Ideate
• Few ROUGH sketches of what your product will look like
• Based from the Define and Empathize stage of this process
• Feedback
• Responsibility of the person giving feedback. 
• Strong Criticism
• As well as things to improve
• NOT Biast
• This will help you add and/or subtract things from your sketches and your vision of your product
• After you receive as much as feedback as you can, create some newer sketches of your product
• Prototype
• Create the product based on your final rough sketches (Ideate)
• Test
• Look for all of your possible problems and make sure you have satisfied all of your necessities of your customer
• Test your product with other customers and make sure they are happy
• If not, go back to your prototype and make changes.
