Creativity and development
When reviewing the readings and the videos, I was identifying features I already know, others who helped me to recall and also found information which is very similar to my way of thinking and new ideas likewise found that I think it will be very useful in my life.
The usability and functionality of things to base the design is a very interesting approach, but when you add the human element and end user focus can achieve amazing things, like hooks for children underneath the table, it is very interesting how a simple idea can be well localized achieve much more than an isolated idea conceived.
Usually when we solve problems we do not have the feedback of the person who has the problem and it is difficult to reach simple solutions. For instance a few years ago I started a restaurant where the menu changes 4 times in a year, because it did not listen to my customers and felt the need to changes the menu, now I think it was a mistake because it is necessary to have the customer feedback. I have kept this in my mind for my next venture.
Other of the videos talk about the need to reframe the ordinary, that quote seemed very important and deep, because I think it's hard to create something from the scratch but innovate on current its different, also speaks of having fresh viewpoints, think usability and put ourselves in the shoes of the other, all these concepts are not new to me but at the same time, they are with the idea of reframing the ordinary and obtain a service that meets the user needs.
A new perspective on an old concept is to include a fun look at the creative process, as adults, we tend to think more in preconceived rules and paradigms, where the game and fun allow us to break these paradigms and have a broad creative development.
Personally, I knew the importance of the prototypes, but could not see it so clearly when the video shows office supplies and clay prototypes, that clarified an idea to me. I found it fascinating to explain an idea in a more tangible way, especially because personally with a background in IT, we are used to struggle when had to explain intangible assets. A new idea was the experience, I had never heard till this term and I have never been aware of this. I feel that I have used before but was not explicitly aware of the application.
Summarizing both the readings and the videos provided me personally, professionally and as an entrepreneur a different perspective at the time to generate, conceptualizer, prototypes and transmitting new ideas for products or services.
