Stefan’s process is relatively similar to my process. One of the key elements of my process is traveling. I get inspired by traveling to new places. When I travel, not necessarily far away like overseas, I always try to experience something that I have not done before, rather than something familiar such as shopping, and try to take pictures or notes of something that seems interesting as many things as I can. That is why I take a lot of pictures even though some of the pictures are silly such as a picture of a huge cockroach on the street when I went to Hong Kong last summer. I believe this type of attitude and habits keep me creative and curious about everything around me. Also, because of that, I try to see different and new things and think differently. Sometimes, it helps me when I am designing something.
In addition, I get many good ideas from brainstorming with other people. I am not a big fan of teamwork but I do think brainstorming is one of the most important things for design process because ideas can get developed further and designers can get more and various ideas. Also, brainstorming sometimes solves problem faster than if I would think by myself sitting on a chair with my laptop.
So, this is my rough design process.
- Analyzing what the client wants and what I can do to make great result.
- Researching whatever relative information. Researching information does not necessarily mean researching with a computer. It can be any form such as reading, talking, watching videos, traveling, discussing, brainstorming, etc.
- Recording anything interesting or inspiring with Notes or pictures.
- Doing a lot of sketches until I’m sure what my idea is.
- Starting the actual work with computer, paint, etc.
- Making the final design with appropriate form such as print.
- Presenting and getting feedback from clients and discuss what and how to develop.
- Completing the design process.
