The film Design Thinking presented various interesting views on designing, problem solving, the process and the professionals behind the scene. I found the film quite fascinating in understanding the many issues and problems which spark innovation, as well as how the projects are executed to best suit the needs of the audiences.

I found David Kelly’s quote on involvement and passion in design quite true and real. One cannot hope to solve a problem from the outside looking in, but must completely surround themselves with the people, issues and solutions revolving around their idea. I also believe that the thought of one being born creative or having artistic characteristics in their genes does not define a successful designer. Designers involve themselves in business, communities, research, institutes, prototype problem solving and critiquing constantly. It is not a spontaneous and unplanned outcome. Seeing the process of prototyping from huge developed companies taking random tools and materials to visualize their ideas was indeed enjoyable as it helps to reinforce the fact that one must ideate to the max, flushing out their mental thoughts into physical form in order to trouble shoot products to the best of its form
