1 answer:

4 0

In "Everyday Use," we meet a mother and two daughters: Dee and Maggie. They are African American, and extremely different in their personalities. While Maggie is shy and traditional, with simple aspirations, Dee has been educated, is interested in political and social issues, and wants to celebrate her African roots. Dee is very different from the rest of her family. She has moved away and started a new life with her partner, when she comes back to visit one day.

When she is back home, she notices her grandma's quilts, and wants to keep them. However, the mother had already promised them to Maggie. There is further disagreement as Dee wants the quilts to be preserved and only used in special occasions, while Maggie thinks they should be used everyday. The mother eventually refuses to give them to Dee and gives them to Maggie. She believes Maggie better understands the importance of tradition, and that she will better honour them by using them everyday, as opposed to Dee who only wants them as a conversation piece.

Delicious77 [7]

The design thinking process finds a solution or creates a product based on briefs or requirements of a client, for example, and has seven basic stages: Define, Research, Ideate, Prototype, Select, Implement and Learn.

First, the client's requirements are presented with a goal to achieve. Then it is studied until finding all its variations and interpretations. Once the proposition is determined, the product can start to be articulated with its values to the audience.

The "research" stage begins after the brief has been defined and agreed, when a designer starts to search for information that can be fed into the creative process at the ideate stage.
