At course start the following texts should be read:

Additional literature will be decided upon by the tutor in relation to each group's concept.

Reviews

The purpose of the reviews is to practice different forms of presentation and feed-back as well as to test the strength of your work. Therefore the reviews will be of different character. Absence from reviews will result in an additional assignment.

PRO1 review structure

The focus of the presentation in PRO1 is to convince the audience that the presented idea has great potential. Each group will present another group's work. The presentations will be structured in the following way:

• 7 minutes: presentation of the project by another group
• 5 minutes: clarification of the group that developed the project
• 10 minutes: general discussion
• 5 minutes: feed-back from teacher

Be well prepared to present the project that you have been assigned. Practice the presentation, decide in advance how you present and who presents what. You only have 7 minutes to convey the project idea!

IMPORTANT! Note the following and submit your notes to the group that has developed the project:

1. What is missing in terms of presentation and content of the project that you have presented.
2. What is the essence of the project that you have presented and how could it be reinforced.

PRO2 review structure

Viktigt att tänka på

Vi kommer under projektets gång att arbeta med flera olika kreativa metoder. Då vi har ett begränsat tidsspann kommer upplägget att te sig linjärt. Dock är det viktigt att påpeka att den kreativa processen sällan är linjär eller går att tidsplanera. Med detta i bakhuvudet, se till att alltid ha anteckningsmöjligheter.

Misströsta inte heller om ni under projektets gång ser att ni måste backa flera steg eller “börja om”. Ibland händer det också att man först hamnar i slutet för att sedan behöva nysta upp och se var början ligger.

Vi kommer att djupdyka i designprocessens initiala faser, samtidigt som det är viktigt att förstå att designprocessen inte slutar då produkten eller tjänsten hamnar hos en tillverkare eller operatör.

Ert materialet ska fortlöpande struktureras och formatteras, parallelt med projektutvecklingsarbetet, så att det är förståeligt och går att presentera för en utomstående person. Alla tankar och allt arbete måste på något sätt översättas till kommunicerbart material, det kan vara objekt/modeller, text, bilder, diagram, etc.

Då examinationen baseras på processen ska allt arbete sparas och dokumenteras. Sista inlämningsuppgiften utgår från allt skissarbete - se Reflektion i slutet av detta dokument.

Lycka till!
