Description
In this co-design research project, our group sought to streamline the music-finding experience by understanding listeners' perceptions of music over time.
Reflection
This was our group's first time experiencing the co-design process and we discovered a lot of positives and negatives to this project and our topic. It was very informative to learn about design perspectives from non-designers and a diverse group of participants. Our participants were also eager to participate in our methods and were interested in our topic which is most likely due to our prerequisite questions. If we did this project again, our group would have had our participants separated further. We believe having our participants in such close proximity may have made an uncomfortable environment when/if discussing personal matters. We also think it could have been helpful to facilitate a group conversation to spark creativity within the co-design process.
