This week all my focus is going to be on ideation. In preparation for our major project we began to think about how to come up with new concepts. We reflected on our previous projects to see how we idea generated to come up with them. I find crazy 8's and mind maps, mood boards and visual thinking most helpful. Something already in mind for my major project is health. Health is something I am particularly interested in as well as helping people in particular circumstances. I think health is a growing industry when it comes technology, I am also a diabetic and have found apps to be helpful in managing my condition so I would love to create something similar myself.
Creating something out of nothing can be extremely difficult. However, there are approaches you can take to overcome this scenario. One approach was to identify pain points users may have of an existing app you could improve upon, what gets you and others excited when exploring different and new ideas?
