TED TALKS BIG.

This short video broke down the concept of design is design thinking. The basic ideas of this concept are simply that it starts with humans---with what we need or what we might need. It is understanding our culture and our context, and it is building to think instead of thinking what to build. Tim Brown went on to stress the importance of prototypes, how they help to speed up the process and evolve our ideas (which I personally 100% agree with after this project). Along those lines, Brown said design is too important to be left to designers, and that the design needs to be put in the hands of everyone, for more feedback and real life situations, and solutions. He also said “CHANGE brings new ideas”, a fabulous quote from this video, so simple yet so eye-opening. This film was short and to the point, simply putting that design needs to rid the “designer look of the black collared shirt and square glasses” and get back to the point of creating things that evolve our society and start leading us into the furture instead of being distracted by the present, by thinking BIG and outside the box, just as real designers should.
