Comments on Bowman’s “A Design Process Revealed”
I thought this article was interesting because it almost defines a recipe for design. I know that not all designers use the same creative process but it is interesting to see his method in arriving at a finished product. While reading the article I began to think of a marketing class that I took because in a sense, both designing a website and marketing a product focus on a common goal; being attractive to people. This may seem somewhat of a stretch but everything from research and development to competitive analysis all the way down to the final composition are alot like developing a marketing plan to sell a product.
While reading this article, I noticed that my personal creative process is not too much different from Bowman’s or anyone else who studies design. I completely agree when he talked about how anyone can add alot of “Smoke and Mirrors”, but actually going through a process and developing the idea is what really makes a good design.
