What did you learn?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have worked on research projects and have sat in on user research processes to inform design, but this was the first time I used research to inform a more free-form creative endeavor and leveraged the ideas of metaphor and form in such detail.<\/p>\n

What feedback did you receive? Any reflections on the critique itself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The feedback to flesh out the job descriptions was appreciated and a missed opportunity on my part to make the project more well-rounded.<\/p>\n

What might you do differently in terms of process or content?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel I had a lot of setup content, and organizing it a bit more through the job descriptions or in additional links would have felt more authentic.<\/p>\n

What was inspiring? What parts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall it was inspiring to see the different directions everyone took on their topics. If you would’ve told me five weeks ago that this project on borders would manifest as a careers site, I would not have believed you.\u00a0 Flexing into the different creative processes and seeing the various ways everyone approached different topics was inspriing.<\/p>\n

Revisit the assignment prompts: how did your project relate to the original prompts, in terms of critical lens, audience, tone, etc\u2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I believe I answered on the complexity of the metaphor and form. When considering the audience, again, I think having the information more nested into areas such as job descriptions would have felt more authentic to the audience viewing the page.<\/p>\n

How did you balance research and experimentation? Which is easier for you? How can you focus more on the areas that you shy away from<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think building a solid research process helps breed and push experimentation. For me, the research comes easier than the experimentation, but it was through the research that I found the specific thread of “jobs to be done” by canals which led to my idea of creating this careers page. So, I do believe they go hand in hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
