Design Mindset in Innovation: A Visual Poster for Design Thinking

This assignment is a poster designed to visually represent the concept of a 'design mindset' in the context of innovation. It requires researching academic and practitioner literature to define design mindset and its role in fostering innovation. The poster should effectively communicate complex ideas using structure, graphics, and concise text, showcasing the main message, logical structure, and aesthetic appeal. The content should address the question of what constitutes a design mindset in innovation, incorporating elements such as empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing, all while maintaining a human-centric approach to problem-solving and innovation. This visual representation is intended to demonstrate a clear understanding of design thinking principles and their application in creating effective and innovative solutions.

DESIGN IT
The process of design
thinking
1. Empathize- Learning about the
audiences for who you are
designing.
2. Define- Constructing a view-point
which is based on the needs and
insights of the users
3. Ideate- Coming up with creative
solutions
4. Prototype- Building up of a
representation of one or more
ideas
5. Test- Returning to the original
user group and testing the ideas
for feedback

Design mind-set in context to
innovation
Design mindset is considered to be a strategy
for creation & innovation. Design thinking
encourages design mind-set, i.e., a human-
centric approach for innovating and
rephrasing a particular problem as well as its
solution. Design mind-set is an approach of
problem solving in which the process of
implementation, ideation and inspiration takes
place as a system of extending over the
spaces.
