HOW MIGHT I...
Starting to hate that phrase.
Had a great workshop with Peter Sheehan Monday past. He made me really question my proposed "how might I" statements from the last presentation, and asked the question of why couldn't they all be one concept? Rather than trying to concept three different routes with three different prototypes which were essentially all the same anyway, mush them all together to create one idea? Secondly, he told me sometimes simple is brilliant. Simple means a well thought out design, and to never use the word just. Never undermine your own work in a presentation, which as it turns out I've a bad habit of doing according to him. He said my ability to present is good, but my visuals were not as strong as they could be. For me the best thing he said was that he gets the impression I'm highly passionate about this idea and what I'm doing and he believes I'm intelligent ( Thanks Peter). That comment alone gave the extra confidence boost I needed to keep pushing this nature idea further, to really showoff my research skills and abiloity to synthesize everything I've found out to design a product which encourages one to connect with nature in a non-demanding way.
( staged my own succulent photo shoot after seeing a similar one on pinterest. Always nicer to use my own photography.... First one is mine, second one courtesy of pinterest. Need to buy more plants.)
