Work Assigned: In the following Integrative Studio class, from the previous mind maps we had to pick an element that we wanted to work with by rule of elimination of the other elements. After we picked the element, we were to make another mind map showing its elements and parts.
Process: In the following class, I was still indecisive regarding the stream that I wanted to pick for my second year, therefore by rule of elimination I had to select three elements that I wanted to work with from each stream, I had chosen Design Thinking and Strategy for Strategic Design Management, Animation and VFX for Communication Design and Internet of Things for Product Design.
Critical Reflections: While doing this exercise I realized the number of things that I did not want to do as a part of each stream and therefore I started narrowing down my choice in a much more efficient manner. I then took a step back and logically evaluated each stream and I realized where my interests lie and where my abilities as a person lie and in which stream I could add the most value. Therefore while breaking things down further I started to map out all my thoughts and started to look at things differently than I had done before this project. I started looking at the stream for what it was an not what I imagined it to be. I also realized that I would rather do 3/5 things that i am mostly interested in rather than maybe say 1/5 things that I am really interested in and the other 4 I do not like at all.
