Productos Bona Vida Workshop

I thought that the presentation of Productos Bona Vida was a very eye opening experience, since I got the chance to really understand the process in which the MYB design cycle does help for the greater good, in this case of a brand/product. This was mainly since the speaker talked about how she started of from nothing, and out of an idea of something that she thought could have a good place in the market, she made it happen. Out of this, she then faced many problems, to which she found a way to solve each of them through many methods. Then she looked into the target population for her products, since they were at first targeted to children, but as she saw that there was a spark of interest from other consumers, she adjusted the products so that it would show as a product for everyone. She then started to create more and more products, that were all based upon ideas and solutions to problems of other products. This made it her way to solve problems with a benefit, through which she went through the whole process again, and the cycle repeated itself. This whole presentation helped me further understand the way the the cycle can affect businesses and brands in a positive way, since it is a way to show how, through a set of organized ideas and methods of solutions to problems and new products, you can go from nothing to holding up well in life.

Web-Design Workshop

In this presentation, my classmates and I got the opportunity to listen and understand more in depth the process behind Website Design. This was a very big chance to learn something helpful for my life since not only it helped me understand more of what I would be doing in the upcoming project that will be assigned to us, but also to any future task that includes me having to do a website for a possible future client.

From this workshop I got to see what I knew before more in depth as well as learn new thing. Out of this I would say that the following are the things that I retained the most:

Things I found out:

1. The MYP design cycle has a lot more to do in Website design that I thought of before.
2. The process of actually making the website searchable in stations like google, yahoo, etc... is actually priced.
3. I learned that in order to do a website for a client, a very thural investigation about said client had to be done.

Interesting things:

1. How long can the design process of a website can take
2. How your information is often taken from websites through cookies

Questions I still have:

1. How much could be the cost for making your website appear in the top of the search lists?

MYP Design Cycle Info-graph #2 // Photosynthesis // Reflection

Before I started to work on this Interdisciplinary Info-graph, I knew very little about photosynthesis. Since we saw this topic a few years back, and I haven't used this ever since, I forgot almost everything that we saw about the topic. I found that working with a partner that knew more about Photosynthesis that I did was a very good and overwhelming. This was because not only did he teach me about the topic, but he also helped me understand more in depth about the matter. Also doing the info-graph I thought of it as fun, since the topic being related to nature and natural processes, it opened up many creative options for the design and setup of the product, to which we came up with the idea of putting plants and photosynthesis related images, to give it a more attractive look, as well as making it easier to understand.

MYP Design Cycle Reflection

I found the MYP Design Cycle to be a clear way to establish, and apply the correct methods of work during a project or investigation. With it I can know further understand all the steps and ways to make your project at its best potential, and in the correct way. Before, I had little to no knowledge of what the MYP Design Cycle was, or even how to correctly make a project and or investigation. I can say that the best part of working in this project is that not only did I learn how to correctly work with the MYP Design Cycle, but that I also had the opportunity to learn how to do an Infographic, what opened a lot of future opportunities as to how to show and present information about my upcoming projects and investigations.
