Designing Opportunity

I'm really starting to understand and enjoy the briefs that are given each week.
My thoughts so far: At first I didn't really understand the meaning behind each rounds in stage one until the end where I realised that it challenges you to work out of your comfort zone as well as within. Throughout each round I always challenged myself to work out of my comfort zone by making models first and then drawing after, because I'm more used to planning out my work before I start to turn that idea into a model. As stated in the crit, I still unconsciously ended up following an organised way of doing things despite going out of my comfort zone. It has been a really fun experience so far - self reflecting throughout each round and discovering your own way of working. I definitely did not regret choosing this as my paper in the beginning of the semester and I give props to the tutors Gerard and Frances for creating such an amazing paper/idea. At the beginning of each rounds I was quite lost into how to start because it was so vague and so I trusted my gut feeling to do things, and eventually I started to enjoy each round near the end.

Still quite confused and scared about what is to come in the second stage.
