Design Methodology 2: Weekly Capstone Updates

Week 5:

This week’s discussions were focused around feedback and research methods.

After completing my presentation, two professors reviewed and provided feedback. I was somewhat nervous, but also eager, to hear what their thoughts were. There were a couple takeaways that I got from the comments left:

1. My topic selection is important.
2. An animation is an appropriate approach if I am looking to draw emotion.
3. Research will be necessary.
4. My audience may be too broad.

Hearing that my topic is worthwhile was a huge weight off my shoulders. I do plan to narrow down my audience to college students, rather than young adults.

Moving forward, I will need to begin to implement research methods to strengthen and support my theory and approach.

My general, broad plan is to begin to collect interviews, surveys, and secondary sources.
