02: Finding a problem

Today in class, we did sort of a speed run on the process of design. I actually had to do the same thing for an internship I'm currently in but our focus was on the problems and process of "gift giving".

My partner for this project was Shao Yi and it was really nice getting to know her and hear her story. The problem I eventually came to discover with her was learning English. I found that one of the solutions she seemed to lean towards was good television shows to help with this.



The solution I came up with a 'television' with software that can dub and provide subtitles for any other show or film in another language that isn't English. This way, she can enjoy some of her old favorites or watch an English program with subtitles for her to associate the words with and will eventually, improve her knowledge of the language.


Iiiii actually forgot to turn this in last week so I still have it with me ahaha...

  1. Very thoughtful and "user-friendly" concept for your partner. It was nice to see an alternative solution in meeting the designated users needs that was not derived from a conventional "wallet" motif. Good thinking outside of the "box"in your efforts to best meet your partner's needs
