Overview

Join us for an engaging workshop that delves into the realm of design as a means of posing questions and pushing boundaries. In this session, we will explore how design research can transcend the confines of specific design challenges and expand into broader inquiries. By seamlessly integrating design research into the design process, novel and unexpected questions emerge organically from the act of designing itself.

Drawing from my ongoing game project, this workshop will provide an insightful walkthrough of a research-driven design approach - specifically, the iterative design process. Through real-world examples and practical demonstrations, participants will gain valuable insights into how to navigate and harness the potential of iterative design.

Whether you are a seasoned designer or just embarking on your creative journey, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to unravel the synergies between research and design. Prepare to unlock fresh perspectives and learn how to foster innovation by embracing the dynamic interplay between design and research. Join us in this thought-provoking session and elevate your design practice to new heights.

Arts SU has worked in collaboration with UAL student, Yining Jenny Jiang, to deliver this workshop. The workshop is open to all UAL students. You are not required to have any technical knowledge prior to this workshop.

Jenny is a motivated, highly creative computing artist with 5 years of experience in digital media industries. Jenny has a rich experience in group work and individual assignments making video and board games, as well as interactive installations design. Recently, she has been working on designing prototypes for iterative design to combine Chinese hieroglyphs and interactive video games, giving the audience the opportunity to engage with and learn about ancient Chinese characters.
