RDSC!

November 20, 2015 · 0

刚刚交完rdsc最后一个项目，除了wgs和this I believe之外，传说中最最艰难的部分已经结束了。

so what I learned? English probably a better choice for this one… Just want to share some quick notes with you.

1. The first thing I realised is that, I didn’t even use Axure once for my projects. And I do need to use it next year for my work. I am worried.
2. I still don’t know framer.js, javascript, omnigraffle and lots of other tools and most part of programming/front end stuff. That’s not a good sign….
3. I did learned sketch, which I don’t think I need to learn at all… And principle, which is rather simple as well.
4. I am frustrated about how few tools I learned during this process. However, I am also surprised at the fact that I am able to finish the projects with only simple tools. Although, obviously, I won once only so far…Not even close to you… Yes, I am Monica!
5. I did learned a lot. I tried different research methods: Elito, focus group, observations, interview, card sorting, affinity diagrams. And I know exactly know how important it is to do primary research and talk to your users during your design process.
6. Overall, I was lazy. I didn’t really put as much as effort I can put. One part because I got a job offer early. Another is, I find it is difficult to work within a team with different expectations and standards about your design work.
7. I am so grateful that you recommended me to do theory this semester. What I learned most in RDSC is because I am thinking and reflecting in theory frequently. Desiderata and ensoul design is my two favorite term now!
8. I am not sure if talent can help with your design. But I do sure that hard working can help design A LOT. Most “designers” would give up when they find out that their clients can’t figure out what they want.
9. I would say logical thinking is more important that software skills.
