Reminder of Documentation: How & Why

<aside> 💡

Today's brainstorming exercise is not the final solution, but rather our initial approach through a methodology you should keep in mind! so you can revisit to open up new possibilities with fresh ideas as you continue your thesis ideation! ( and for other design projects**)**

Please create a document for the first week that details your brainstorming process, feedback, and REFLECTION!

• organize and reorganize with your ideation order AND random/underexpected orders “deconstructing as we did in class exercise!”
• To get a fresh eyes on your existing thought patterns and direction for your thesis trajectory
  • visualize your mind/reasoning flow on each sticky note on your Miro/FigJam

In this documentation, focus on your idea generation process, especially how you organize and match all the sticky notes. Be sure to do this exercise with your friends!
