Perform
2:59It's now time to put your plan into action. In this video watch Jack perform his design tasks to achieve a solution for Peter or Peter's Pies.
We are on to our third step in the problem
solving process, performing.
0:00
This is where we can put our design skills
we learned to the test.
0:05
We use the design elements and principles
of
0:10
design to perform solutions for the
problems at hand.
0:12
In this particular case, Jack will start
the design
0:16
process and start to form a solution for
Peter's Pies.
0:20
Let's take a look at the steps to success.
0:25
Jack's process varies from project to
project.
0:29
However, he has the same approach when
he's in the performance stage.
0:32
Jack works quickly and is focused, with
all
0:37
of his attention dialed in on solving a
problem.
0:39
He likes to put the project into action
and perform.
0:42
Carrying out this step didn't always come
easy
0:45
to Jack, or any designer for that matter.
0:48
There are always things that hold us back,
especially when it comes to this step.
0:51
The perform step is the most difficult
0:57
and stressful but always is the most
rewarding.
0:59
Here are a couple of suggestions to help
you through this step.
1:03
First, you must be passionate about the
project.
1:07
Second, break the project down into steps.
1:10
Third, positivity is the key to making
progress.
1:14
Fourth, there must be a purpose.
1:20
Without a purpose, there's not solution.
1:23
Fifth, get rid of complications.
1:26
As Dieter Rams said, less is more.
1:29
Six, always go with your gut feeling.
1:33
If it doesn't feel right, don't do it.
1:36
And seventh, be confident about your work.
1:39
Own it, you made it, stand behind it.
1:43
This is how Jack executes his design
performance.
1:46
[MUSIC] First comes inspiration.
1:49
Second, he researches the competition.
1:52
Third, he designs a style guide for
Peter's Pies.
1:56
Fourth, Jack designs all the mediums using
the assets from the
1:59
style guide, and these mediums here are
the signage, website, and packaging.
2:04
Finally he gets quotes on everything and
organizes it for Peter to look over.
2:09
Jack then shows all of his work that he's
done for Peter.
2:16
While Peter's surprised at the cost, Jack
emphasizes the importance of
2:19
design and the value that quality work
brings to his business.
2:24
Peter couldn't agree more.
2:29
Jack sends everything to print and
finishes building
2:31
everything out for the website, which he
then launches.
2:35
The performance part of the problem
solving
2:39
process can be quite stressful and
tedious.
2:41
However, it's the most rewarding part of
all.
2:44
[MUSIC] Now that we understand the
performance stage, let's take
2:47
a look at the final stage in the problem
solving process.
2:51
But before we do that, let's take a quick
quiz.
