Phenomenology (WOII Week 1)

In today's session, I learned about what phenomenology means and how it applies to daily life as a design student. Generally, phenomenology is a study of an experience and the consciousness of being in the world, which seeks to understand how things are experienced from one person’s perspective without making any assumptions. The idea of phenomenology is describing an experience as it is and focusing on what people saw.  For example, in today's class activity, we have to interpret an image that shows ‘shadows’ and ‘time’.

What I learned from that activity is every image has its own meaning, and experiences that happened in real life in every image. For instance, my picture shows a shadow of me and my friends.

There is a meaning behind those pictures that not only shows shadows, but also time where we took that picture before school starts and we’re separated. In that example, I can get connections on design training which as designers, they could design based on an experience as they create. From the created design, clients not only enjoyed the design, but they could consciously feel an experience as they saw in their perspective .

Other than that, design is also seen as a phenomenological process, which designers create based on their reflection of an experience that genuinely happened in their life. On design training, designers could feel consciousness of their subjective experiences as they design for other people. As a conclusion, phenomenology can help to design training since it helps designers to understand lived experiences and people’s perspective at their first sight.

Character Building

Some things to think about when building/describing a character:

Physical traits

Hair: color and length. Maybe it's natural, maybe it's dyed

Build: height, weight, muscle

Face: maybe they have a longer nose or forehead. Think about specific features like freckles, gapped teeth, jaw shape, acne scars, lip shape

Eyes: eye color, shape, 

Backstory

Where is your character from?

Do they have family? How has that affected their personality?

What are their goals?

What are their likes/dislikes?

Strengths and weaknesses

Age

Personality

Voice: is their voice deep? Lilted? Strained?

How do they react to stressful situations? 

What do they wear?

Are they kind? Meaner? Restrained? 

How do they move? If they're older maybe they're a bit slower. Maybe your character is clumsy or move awkwardly

Body language/face: is your character normally more serious? Do they have RBF? Maybe they smile more or their face is more relaxed at rest. Maybe they leave their hands on their hips a lot, or prefer them crossed or in their pockets.

How are they perceived by others? How do they view the people around them? 

Should I dive deeper on some of these?
