Wk 3.1 BRAINSTORMING AND STORYTELLING

Ideate / Prototype / Test

We presented our first draft briefs on tables and the class worked their way around to look at everyone's briefs. The class got over all student feedback and we got tutor feedback as well as some tutor feedback.
Sayydah and I were discussing if we should narrow down our audience to either major depression in business women or men. 


We decided on taking our project towards major depression in women. We decided to narrow our audience to business women with major depression because we felt that women for more likely to open up about their issues than men -we found this based on our research:
Male Major Depression:

  • Blame others
  • Feel angry, irritated and ego inflated
  • Feel suspicious and guarded 
  • Create conflicts
  • Feel restless
  • Need to feel in control 
  • Find it "weak" to admit self-doubt or despair
  • Use alcohol, sex, and TV to self medicate
  • Risky or reckless behavior
Female Major Depression:
  • Blame themselves
  • Feel sad, apathetic and worthless
  • Feel anxious or scared
  • Feel slowed down or nervous
  • Have trouble setting boundaries
  • Find it easy to talk about self-doubt and disappear
  • Use food and friends to self medicate
