Designing for Adjectives, not Nouns is an abstract concept and human-centred short project that aims to broaden the creative, critical and conceptual thinking of students. Designing for emotion and understanding the connections between user and product and how designers can dictate and determine this through their approach to design is an important concept for students to understand as they move into the IB DP Design program and beyond and with this in mind, I created this short project with the hope of expanding design understanding and thinking.
