Today I started to read our required text for this class. The reading we were assigned was the cover until xviii. These pages basically informed me as to what I would read and hopefully learn as I continued to read the textbook and at the same time gave me a better idea as to what I would be in for as far as this course is concerned.
The reading started off with the author describing in the preface what the world of design is like today versus 20 years ago. I found this to be the most interesting part of the reading. It described design as being a clearly definable process and this statement in particular caught my attention: "The process of design can be broken down into stages, each of which contains it's own set of goals. By following a path that arrives at each stage in turn, a project's development becomes clearer, easier to navigate, and more assured." This sparked my interest because it is not only relateable to design, but also any type of goal in life itself. The rest of the reading divided and described the book in stages as well instead of chapters, which ties into the overall idea of the process of design.
Hi Alyssa! I agree with how the seven stages relate to goal in life itself. I was thinking, "Hey, isn't this like...steps to do everything?" I mean writing an essay has to have an outline and such. I hope the next reading is interesting.
