In this class, it was my first face-to-face class, so it was quite exciting to finally meet my classmates and my teachers. We had the chance to sketch and doodle an idea of the product that we want to make, based on the customer that we had created the last session, but it was quite exciting to have so many ideas become one.
The hardest part of this session was to combine all the research we have made into a single product. Having to make it easier for the audience to understand the connection between all the work we have done so far. As I didn’t have the chance as the other students to go to the visits as I was an AA student, I had different pictures and research for my products based on the streets from my country and limited knowledge from the museum as I had to do it online. This becoming somehow of a limitation, it has also been an advantage, having different images for the research somehow allows me to be even more different than the others and I like that. I like that I will be doing my product connecting to the research that I have made on my part and with that, I will already be different than the others.
When beginning doodling different ideas of what I wanted to make, I had one clear thought, and that was that I wanted to do something related to make-up. This is when the idea of make-up packages was explained, and thinking about my customer and my needs as a make-up lover myself, I came up with the idea of a make-up bag to go. It consists of a make-up bag that is designed with special pockets on the inside to hold all 10 included make-up products that will complete a perfect beauty look. With this idea on I began sketching and putting my ideas on a paper, but we were told not to limit ourselves to one idea, so I began sketching a possible magazine of beauty. I doodle what the magazine would look like, who would be on the cover, with what kind of make-up and it was really exciting.
At some point, I got a little confused connecting the entire research into a project, but it was more than useful to have a teacher there to help me. It was the first time that I had the chance to ask questions and see the progress of my classmates, so for once I feel like my education it is complete now and I love that. With that I continue doodling, and made sure that for next class I would have my clear and chosen idea.
