The readings and presentations that have influenced our process of discovery so far are as follows:

The design thinking presentation influenced us in a manner which made us reflect upon a particular issue in our field of research. Through visual thinking and mapping, all three of us were able to find a common issue of waste under the umbrella of fashion. We firs defined the problem, then we went further to do research on it. And currently we are at the ideation/elaboration stage. The ideation stage would be us trying to write a problem statement and and design brief which includes a potential solution, in our case we determined a manner in which to recycle fabric that is being wasted in the initial process. Furthermore, the systems thinking presentation is now playing a role in determining the systems around our issue. As our group has discussed this includes several systems that surround the production of textiles. Lastly the diffusing innovations and innovations presentation allows us to think of ways in which we can implement our design solution. We are able to see the way in which our solution (which we are still working on) can pass and intercede the systems in order for a solid result.
