Work on the breakout activities list below to help build your design research and process.

Breakouts

  • Ethnography – How are you paying attention to your audience?
  • Competition (who is currently working on the topic you are working on? How are they the same and different from your idea?
  • Visualization (how could your brand/topic look? Does it need to blend with the market, or does it need to be radically different visually?)
