Themes clustering

Identifying areas of interest to locate FMP

Themes clustering helped me understand and explore all the possible design intervention points. Taking a few key words out of the DMC glossary, I broke down each theme to identify the kind of purpose, questions or implications they could have. I added a purple star to the ideas I felt sat strongest before deciding to begin hypothesising my project. Some of these themes later became adopted into my value proposition. I eventually chose to work around the theme of ‘wellness and health’ (see rationale) where I found my personal connection to sit strongest at. Although the other themes were also very much relevant, it felt like the right time to explore health in a pandemic-riddled world.

REFLECTION

> This was an extremely pivotal point in my project, where I first began to look at health & wellness as a place of design intervention > Prior to clustering my themes, I was still very indecisive about the direction of my FMP > Mapping this out on my notebook helped me see how my areas of interest all link with each other
