Reflection: Richard Seymour + Dick Powell: Designing dream machines

The video Richard Seymour + Dick Powell: Designing Dream Machines allowed me to gain further understanding about the lengthy process of designing, prototyping and communicating. Prototyping and communicating is very important, as a designer, everyone has different style and opinions in interpreting their ideas. Designing for a client is challenging, because there are many different ways to communicate a product (eg. through drawings, models, renders) to other team members and the client. At the end of the project, a number of working prototypes would have been made to show the changes that the client may have wanted and other alternative designs. Constant communication with the client is important so that the designer would know that they are an agreeable path with the client. This would also limit the time and cost wasted on the development.
