Project Overview
In a design sprint of 5 weeks, the problem I am addressing here is whether creators nowadays are too busy creating sustainable products while indulging in the unsustainable making processes and reflecting on what happens to the MVPs that no are longer in use. My approach was to find out how we can improve design practice to create less waste. Opting to create a data comic for reporting controlled user study I used semi-structured interviews to collect data pertaining to completed Design Informatics projects with Physical prototypes. The data showed that the participants faced different kinds of obstacles throughout different stages of their design process such as lack of knowledge or instructions etc which led them to create more waste. I created a low fidelity prototype data comic and used the analogy of a hurdle race to represent the design process of the participants and tested the prototype with a few users for readability and created a high fidelity prototype of an interactive comic. This is my work so far. In future, I plan to do a more critical analysis of my process of data analysis and design.
