Design Thinking at Bath Spa

Had a really enjoyable day at Bath Spa running a workshop on design thinking for the second year Graphic Communications students. They each presented a method of communicating a guilty environmental secret across a distance of 5m, and then we used a variety of brainstorming and design space navigation techniques to come up with methods for the next task of communicating across 25m. We also had chance to try out some ‘performative improv design’ using the design bot developed at Schmiede as a way of generating prompts. Thanks to Alex Williamson for inviting me along to guest lecture.
