Visualization Tool Reflection

 Design Thinking for Innovation Final Assignment 

 Challenges and Selection 

 One of the main challenges I faced as an event planner and decorator is creating a design   which suits the client ’s vision and budget but does not eliminate our characteristic as a   designer . I recently faced this challenge when I was doing a wedding design project , in which   my team and I needed to communicate our design ideas and arguments clearly to the client   for them to be able to picture the design well and reach a final agreement . It was an outdoor   wedding reception , and the client wanted it to be intimate and had a rustic mood whilst still   remained on their budget . I decided to use the visualization tool to overcome this challenge   because I figured that decorating an event venue involves a lot of picturing 3D spaces and   room sequences , and this tool is the best way to avoid misconceptions when communicating   our ideas to the client . 

 Application 

 At the early step of designing after getting a short brief of the client ’s vision , I composed a   design mood board which consists several wedding decoration images , color palettes and   types of flowers that we are going to use according to the big theme . This mood board really   helps us to communicate with the client regarding their design preferences before we moved   to detailing . Visualizing the design examples by real images and color palettes is proven to be   more effective rather than explaining them by words , because both I and the client were able   to state clearly which are suitable with our ideas , characteristic and budget and which are not .   Once both parties had an agreement on the general theme and mood of the wedding , comes   detailing . This part is quite tricky , since we need to create a visualization as similar as the real- life design outcome that we wanted . For this part , I created a 3D model of the venue , complete   with the decoration elements and flower images that we are going to use in a montage . The   3D model was captured from several pivotal point of views such as the entrance , main stage ,   and aisle to let the client experience the design sequence . Besides acting as a visualization   tool for the client , the 3D model also helps us as designer in picturing our design in the venue ,   starting from the decoration element ’s scale to the compatibility of color moods we have   chosen with the venue . Moreover , the method also helped us designers to assess whether   our design is buildable or not . These practices really help us as designers to give a clear   visualization of our design as a whole , from the beginning until the end . 

 Insight and Approach 

 I have learned from applying these practices that visualization tool help create a better   understanding and made it easier for people , especially as designers to align our ideas . The   compilation of design preferences images and 3D models gives the designer and client a focal   point to discuss their perspectives and explore their ideas regarding the design . The   visualization helps simplify the communication process and finding the middle ground for both   parties . Even though the project was a success , I still feel like there are more to explore in   terms of using the visualization tool to present our ideas . I would like to be much more detailed   in my future project ’s presentation , so I can maximize the tool to explore and share more   insights .
