Day 115-Creative Block?!
It's been 7-10 days since I am trying to sketch out my product but it's been a huge challenge. All the sketches look similar to Alexa, Nest, HomePod. How do I break the barrier?! Have they created a benchmark in case of product design for IoT devices or am I working in the loop. On the other hand I am continuing with my research and creating personas and other artefacts. But overall the mood is 'Meh :/'. I had taken a "PROPER BREAK" from work last week where I didn't touch any project, binge-watched Love Death & Robots, Blade-runner (AGAINNN), Afterlife (Ricky Gervais is OG), Shoplifters. I also went out with my work friends then uni friends then friends from the archery group. I started working out again. I thought all of this would help. But nope, nada! The product in my mind is still basic.
Do I want my product to be minimalistic ? mass manufacturing - uses less material, easy to transport- Ease of business, it is scalable An object sits in an environment- it either compliments it or contrasts it
Now I have come across this video
