Design thinking was chosen as the topic because I wanted to take the abstract set of steps that I use in my everyday life and visualize it in a way that kept a viewer on the edge of their seat as they tried to guess what was coming next.
Research
Analysis of the film Design & Thinking was the basis of the concept of this motion collage. The film was eye-opening to how design thinking can be applied across mediums and practices.

I wanted the collage to feel as unpredictable as possible. Inspired by the design thinking ideation process, I gathered my assets before I formed my storyline.
I grabbed old imagery that I found interesting from the Prelinger Archive and the British Library. Then developed my storyboard with whatever I had gathered.
Storyboards
This backward process of gathering assets opened doors that I wouldn't have been able to access with just my own mind.
