Design Thinking Assessment Feedback
Assessment 1
Distinction
Thank you for your submission for Assessment 1 in Design Thinking.
You have worked well through all of the exercises, delving into the experiences and focusing on the important aspects of each task. You need to push yourself more when ideating. Generate as many ideas as possible then you have more concepts to select and refine from. Please be careful when using handwritten work in any future submissions. Your handwriting could be easier to read. Written annotations in working documents are okay, but you should consider typing up blocks of text like the reflections. Please read through the grading matrix to see more detail on how your submission's strengths and weaknesses were identified.

Hello Lewi,
Very good empathy and encompassing empathy mapping. Good ideation section. Nicely presented and easy to read. It would have been nice to see some sketches of your ideas, and some 'Crazy eight' ideas. Very well set out design brief and insightful reflection.
Well done.

Lewi, your project demonstrates an interesting problem with high-impact consequences due to the large number of people living in high-rise apartment blocks. However, it's worth noting that some of the images used may not be directly relevant to Australia; consider using local examples or data to illustrate the issue.
Including your personal story and connection to this issue would make it more relatable and engaging for readers. Additionally, the research into user experience highlights positive steps for improving waste shoot usability, reliability, and overall experience.
The Understanding the Problem page is clear and effectively communicates the issue; consider using larger images on this page to further illustrate the problem. While ideation shows interesting thinking, more drawings and iterations would be beneficial to develop the concept further (considering your health issues during the semester).
Finally, the research and referencing are a significant improvement from previous assessments, with well-written citations in the text.

Lewi, well done on this assessment. Great work.
The business document is clear and professionally produced, effectively outlining what problem you're addressing, how your solution addresses it, and the values driving that solution.
You've included all the required information to highlight the need for your solution to high-rise waste shoots, providing a comprehensive overview of the issue and its impact.
Your video particularly effectively showcased the problem through personal stories and experiences. This makes the issue highly relatable and engaging, drawing viewers into your concept.
The explanation of how you've dealt with blocked rubbish shoots and shortened rubbish also highlights the core values behind your idea, demonstrating a deep understanding of the problem and its consequences.
The most impressive is that both the video and concept are strong because they're rooted in your experiences and observations. This authenticity shines through and makes your solution more compelling.
Overall, you've done an excellent job on this assessment!
Best of luck with your future studies and work!

Design Aesthetics Assessment Feedback
Assessment 1
Distinction
Lewi, you have produced some very solid final designs. I like your focus on understanding the target audience Gen Z and Millennials. You needed to show a connection to design aesthetics theory and your design choices. While you have made good choices, you haven't explained your decisions in Design Aesthetics terms.
Assessment 3 Brief
Distinction
Good work Lewi, for a higher grade you needed to really learn into the design aesthetic terminology, and speak to how the elements and principles of design help to inform your designs.
