THE RVJ - Cyclic Design Process



Think, plan, do, evaluate are the four main stages of any design process. Without incorporating these steps when developing any work your piece may not reach its full potential. Practice trying to think of all new possible ideas and try each of them out to see what works and what doesn’t, remembering always to note everything down; make sketches through your progress of anything you think of. Right-down to colours, themes, and styles! Constantly question your plan can it work? Or could it look better? Change the way you plan by the way you think, explore different techniques of recording your thoughts.

Thomas Edison once said ''I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work'' The idea is that even if you try and fail, it doesn't mean that you didn't learn something and no matter how many times you attempt something each next brainwave of thought will be a better one, never settle on your initial ideas.
At the beginning of my RVJ this lecture and principle came to be very useful in the way that it changed my approach to being able to think out of the box on ideas and that it was ok for me to not go for the initial idea but that I could develop them even further. I made plenty of notes during my research stages from other magazines and books that I thought would be helpful when not only developing my ideas but will help explain what I thought would work.
