Designing A Diy Toolkit For Everyday People

People should make decisions every day, some of those decisions are easy to make, while others are quite difficult to implement. An appropriately combined and organized decision-making process will help to control this issue and bring a positive outcome for those involved. The decision-making process may become challenging for people due to “the lack of structure and entail risk, uncertainly and conflict” (Bateman and Snell, 2012, p. 86). That is why people trying to make important personal or professional decisions should have an appropriate model to follow in order to avoid these challenges. Bateman and Snell identified six steps or stages of decision-making process

It is essential to figure out who you are, and where you are going. The plan for your life needs be aligned with who you are. Your personality, your

This way I can always know my options and seek out which one is best for me. Using my ability to seek out my best choices help me make sure I don’t make the wrong decisions. This is important in my life due to the fact that I face Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Having GAD makes me overwhelmed in my thoughts, and most of the time makes me feel helpless but, being able to think through my options has made me an excellent planner with everything. I can make a clear and concise plan and make sure I can fit in all of my schoolwork, studying, work, and caring for my siblings all in one

The wayback-background begins with two very understanding and supportive non-artsy parents that stocked their house full of every pencil, marker, and paint set imaginable. Jessica grew up knowing she wanted to do something art related for a living but had no idea what graphic design was until Sophomore year of college. She took an intro course and was hooked. Design was satisfying in a completely different way than fine art—everything was like a puzzle you had to solve. As a nineteen-year-old from Nowheresville, Pennsylvania who lived a relatively charmed existence, she didn’t feel like she had much to “express” yet. Being able to think and execute artwork on the behalf of others—to address their needs rather than her own—was a giant “Eureka!” moment.

The core concept behind ‘Design Thinking’ revolves around attaining a goal rather than simply fixing a problem at hand. Since focusing on an objective already helps address any unmet needs, goal-oriented solutions lay the groundwork for other improvements including future ‘Design Thinking’ solutions. As such, solutions of this nature need to be socially fluid, tangible in nature, and broadminded in approach.

Everyone is faced with choices. For example: whether to invest, what career path to to take or to get an early start in education. The choices I make are based

Indeed, the working scenario where design centers on is quite complex and unpredictable. Inserting knowledge in a context of totality, such as the environment in which humans interact, allows the complexity of this environment to be seen in a globalized and interdependent way, retrieving the sense of unity that has been lost by the values of specialness; complex because, as stated by Couto et al. (2004) design focuses at the human and the environment in which it interacts, requiring an accurate vision of the designer to understand the complexity of human and environment interaction; unpredictable, because, according to Wyatt (2014), unlike other professions who walk in a more usual speed, in the creative industry, changes occur at the speed of light, as technology and fads run by leaps and bounds. As it is stated in Designing for the 21st century: Interdisciplinary questions and insights:

Decisions are required in all that we think, do and say. In fact, it is impossible to go through a day without making a decision. Do I get out of bed today? Do I eat breakfast before leaving for work? What shall I eat for breakfast? These are simple examples, but we also face life-changing decisions as we go through life. We find ourselves asking such questions as, "Do I return to school?" "Do I want to have any children?" "What career path do I want to pursue?" Choosing a career path essentially boils down to a career-making process. Making this type of a decision requires relying on information available and systematically analyzing that information through critical thinking to come to a viable

I’ve been immersed in design from a young age. My mother was a stylist and so our home was always beautifully accessorised. My father was a civil engineer and so I was always surrounded by architectural drawings. The combination of my mother’s aesthetics and father’s functionality laid the foundations for my interest in interior design.

Graphic designers are visual communicators and problem solvers who, to some extent, all have the same basic goals. Jennifer Morla and Bruce Mau both utilize a sleek and concise design approach to each project they take on; however beyond this basic level of communicating and problem solving, the end goal of a designer’s work can vary dramatically. Mau’s work looks at problem solving beyond aesthetics and more so on a global scale, while Jennifer Morla’s work focuses on creating a unique and new solution for each client.

The future is the most uncertain undetermined thing that I can think of. Reasonably, anything can happen tomorrow. Maybe I’ll get in a horrible accident and my brain will never be the same, or maybe something awful will happen and I won’t be able to find a reason to bother with going to college or planning my future for that matter but the truth is, having this plan makes me feel more prepared. Think about if no one had a plan. Even the smallest things need to planned out. Goals are plans. When someone wants something to come true so badly then it’s a plan. If I didn’t try to achieve my goal then I would be unsure on where my future would go after high school. Of course just having a goal doesn’t make everything absolute, but it gives you an idea, and that’s how everything starts. Although nothing is certain in anyone’s future, having a goal can never hurt

During many people's lives, people are faced with very overwhelming decisions. There are so many life decisions people have to accept in order to have extra accessories and needed accessories. Whether it will cost from $100,000 to $100, they’re still decisions that can change a person’s life. Sometimes very big life decisions won’t cost anything but is still very hard to decide. Although some people don’t give much thought to when they make major life decisions, people should put some thought into it to make sure they're prepared. People, throughout life, have major decisions such as buying a home, getting married, and having children.

The Internet describes the role of a graphic designer as a designer in the process of visual communication and problem-solving with typography, space, image and color[1]. Through the use of both paper work (Drawing) to computer work with apps such as Photoshop, design etc.

When I first began my studies at Concordia University I thought design, graphic design specifically, meant to create visually appealing works for clients. With this original idea in mind, I was unsatisfied as I wanted my works to be much more than something that was simply considered “attractive”. This connotation left me with one important unanswered question: how can I, as a designer, better the lives of individuals? After reflecting on who I am as a person, I realized that my values have always been the desire to empower human and non-human stakeholders, particularly those who are neglected. This is the reason why I decided to become a designer, to use my passion of design to attempt to make a difference in the world. Through the concepts explored in my courses at Concordia University, my previous question has now been answered of how I can empower others by virtue of my works.

Planning is important to set deliberate actions that will guide you in reaching your goals. It is even necessary when you are further from the set goal.
