Week 9: Methodologies for thinking and development processes


Lecture:

Make notes and reflect on the answers given by the creative practitioners. Take inspiration from the answers that resonate with you the most and use them as a springboard to develop your own project. Use the Ideas Wall freely to discuss, ask questions and share ideas.

Please describe a case study where innovative design thinking and fresh insight enabled a
surprising project outcome.

Torsten Posselt (FELD):

  • Reebok project in Boston with a kinetic logo concept.

  • Initial idea rejected by the CEO, leading to a significant pivot.

  • Emphasis on adaptability, strategic shifts, and overcoming failure.

Matthew Jones (Accept and Proceed):

  • Data-driven campaign for Rapha, exploring the Tour de France data.

  • Use of hidden narratives to engage users and create a stronger connection.

  • Encourages the discovery of stories within design, fostering resonance.

Wouter Dirks (Studio Dumbar):

  • University of Twente logo design focusing on the campus experience.

  • Creation of a universe of elements rather than a traditional word mark.

  • Shifting the emphasis from a strong mark to showcasing what makes the university special.

As a reflection reflection these practitioners showcase a range of different approaches that highlight versatility.
