anang - learning so far

Respected Mr. Dinesh Sir,
  This is regarding to the course, what I learn during
the course………   

Before starting the course I was totally blank about
he course. I thought that it will something about the
designing process, but the course was more than this.
 In this course I learn to see the things  in a broad
view. The course was interesting enough because of the
interesting exercises.
 In the very first exercise we were suppose to
introduce our self in the way of memory game, which
provide us a reason to be comfortable within a group,
confidence to express the things, feeling to be in a
group to be it’s part, feeling of unity, improve the
analyzing skill, sharpen the memory in an interesting
way, feeling of concerning about the group members &
different perceptions of a same issue. Basically this
exercise was to made us comfortable among the people
we were going to work with & to made environment for a
team work.
 Then we discuss about the design, need of design
(innovations), need of designers & the life spam of
product, which was the essence of the course.
 Then in the comb designing exercise we design a comb
with three options by making sketches. The key phrase
for this is “ a million dollar idea”, which made us to
give value for our work & increase  awareness about
the market trends, competition & innovations. Then we
had the presentation of the designs which enhanced the
skill of expressing the things &  skill of criticism.
 Then in the discussion of people involved in the
designing process & identifying the opportunity in a
product, which made us aware about the market trends &
lead us towards innovations & increase the
understanding of a design.
 In the purchasing something within 10 bugs was
really very interesting, which made us to do better
work in constrains. Then the observation exercise for
the object/product made us to find out the other
possibilities in the same product with the minimum
efforts & by keeping it simple, which made the product
more sellable & interesting. Then the ice cream
exercise, again it’s a play of observation & problem
solution related to the product, which broaden the
view of seeing the things in a positive manner. Then
we learn how to enjoy the work & how to give maximum
output in  given constrains by making our own space in
the working place, by taking the work as a challenge
not as a burden, by taking others suggestions &
appreciation of the best, by the positive attitude
towards changes & to free yourself to go beyond the
limits while trying to innovate something. The we talk
about the biassociation ; the AH, AHA & HA – HA
Expression while designing something. Then we were
free to think wild ideas about the product we choose
earlier & were asked to make sketches of the ideas but
applying the things we learn during the course.
 Overall the main learning, what I can explain is
OBSERVATION, ACTUALISATION & INNOVATION…………..
 Though it is very gradual but the course provide us a
path to think beyond our thinking, meaning one can
attempt to think & to do which seems to be impossible
& can attempt to find the possibilities & solution for
that impossible issue. This increased day to day
during the course & it is still increasing day to
day………………
