Today was my first day teaching Product Design 3 down at theNew School of Architecture and Design San Diego extension of Domus Academy. We covered the gradation between WAN (Wide Area Network), LAN (Local Area Network) and PAN (Personal Area Network) devices and services. We will be focusing the class on designing hardware that fits into a PAN ecosystem. We also covered the concept of archetype sketches and using them at the early problem identification and ideation stages of the design process. Super fun first day. For their first assignment the students need to sketch 10 archetypes of PAN products.
Great to see you in the sketching process. Stuff like this really helps
A question: When you are sketching do you find having zero distractions helps you make a cleaner sketch? i.e. no radio or tv in background, or is it something you can do well without having to concentrate too much?
