DESIGN THINKING PROCESS ASSIGNMENT 

 CHALLENGE 

 The challenge presented before me was to design a collection on the theme “ Multi- functional garment ” . Nowadays no one wants to have plenty of clothes and waste their   money buying new clothes every now and then . Hence , multi - functionality is booming as it   means no discarding of used clothes and having to wear newer looks . To solve this problem , I   needed to know in what elements can this multi - functional aspect be introduced . 

 SELECTION 

 I have chosen the tool , Mind Mapping . A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize   information . A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole .   It is often created around a single concept , drawn as an image in the centre of a blank page ,   to which associated representations of ideas such as images , words and parts of words are   added . Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept , and other ideas branch out   from those major ideas . I chose this tool because I felt this would be the most effective way   to put the design elements required and the other factors that must be considered while   designing . 

 APPLICATION 

 I started mind mapping with multi - functionality at the centre of the diagram . I branched out   into elements , factors to be considered , design complications , fabrics to choose , trims and   accessories , ease of use . This tool made it very easy for me to put down my ideas and   illustrate what I thought of . It gave me a very clear insight of where I had to move next and   the path was well seen . There was very little deviation from the main idea and the time taken   also reduced drastically as I had put down all the possible outcomes . 

 INSIGHT 

 Using mind map to solve my problem , I came up with a collection consisting of 5 garments   with unique features . Overall , I thoroughly enjoyed working with mind map as it was fun and   targeted at the same time . I would use it to solve more and more problems and experiment If   it worked out with other type of problems too . 

 APPROACH 

 I would like to use the tool storytelling also as I feel it brings out a compelling story that will   keep the consumers/ customers involved in the collection . Stories can move mountains . But   surely mind mapping will be my strategy to solve any sort of problem in the upcoming days . I   also feel I need to improve myself in branching out more options .
