Jeff's Design Process Website assignment

Brooks Stevens

I found several websites that have the design process, but I chose Brooks Stevens finally. This company is a traditional design company, it designed many kinds of products, such as crayon, desk, lawn tractor, and so on. However, the main reason is that its design process is better than others. It uses simple and clear pictures to display each step, and then adds words to explain clearly. The more important thing is that it puts the keywords in each step, so visitors can understand what the main point is. For the above reasons, it is good enough to explain its design process, but if it added some videos, it would have been better than now.

After researching, I understand what the design process is. The most important point is how to find the problems and solve it. First of all, we need to learn how to find the problems, so observation is necessary for a designer. And then we have to brainstorm in designing for new products. Through a numbers of barriers, we can get a final answer and solve the current problems. Although the final answer is not the best, it changes the existing difficulties. These points are my opinions of industrial design process.
