Challenge B: Substantiative Post 2

The Design Process

The design process has been an iterative cycle of learning, coming up with new ideas, implementing those ideas, getting feedback and improving. Each stage, such as understanding the problem, making prototypes, getting feedback, and revising, helps improve both the product and the designer’s thinking. The iterative nature of the design process not only helps in creating something but also helps in finding better ways to communicate ideas clearly.

Challenge A and B

In Challenge A, working on my comic project taught me how important clarity and structure are for helping people understand information. When I moved to Challenge B, I used those lessons to make a short educational video that explained how web browsers work. I wanted it to feel clear, friendly, and easy for younger viewers to follow. I focused on keeping a steady pace, matching narration with visuals, and breaking complex ideas into short sections.

Feedback from peers was very helpful. They liked how the video used coherence and personalization to make the topic easier to understand. They also suggested adding a short recap for segmentation, using consistent color cues for signaling, and including captions or contrast to improve accessibility. These suggestions showed me how small changes can make learning more effective.

Overall, this process taught me that good design grows through feedback and reflection. By connecting theory with practice, I learned how to make choices that improve both clarity and engagement.
