Overview
At Pratt, one of my unique skill courses was "Sustainable Interaction Design". The class expands into product design beyond just apps and websites, with sustainability and climate at the forefront of the process.
Timeline
The final project was developed over a course of 4 weeks from the design proposal to final document.
Background
The idea for this project started off with a simple stress cleaning session where I realized all my expensive paint had dried out before I got the chance to smear it on a canvas. It made me wonder if there was a way to still use the paint tubes in art instead of throwing it away. Furthermore, is there a single platform for people to learn what they can do with art scraps?
To answer some important questions, the project was laid out in 5 steps
Research & Planning
This phase answers whether this project was even viable. It also answers an important design question - What are the biggest factors in art wastage?
Brainstorming
Some design ideas were brainstormed to draft possible concepts to build upon
User Research
3 artists were interviewed, 2 of which pursued design school. They were allowed to form opinions with the brainstormed sketches after understanding whether wasted is a pressing concern in art, and how are they combating it?
Prototyping
Using design tools like Figma, I built using the sketches and feedback to build a mid-high fidelity prototype. I couldn't built the concept further due to the time limitations of the semester.
