Video Reflections: Powell Seymour: Designing Dream Machines

Dick Powell and Richard Seymour bring attention to the meticulous detail that is involved in the design process and development of a product from start to finish. Taking a clients brief and developing the best possible solution to the brief whilst creating a highly successful final model. One key aspect they focus on is the ability to communicate. This is important when working in team situations, but also essential to constantly refer back to the client and there needs as to assure they are happy with the progress and then the final product.
Another important thing to note was their emphasis on visual communication skills. Computer modeling is essential but a preference towards highly skilled hand drawings show new designers that drawing skills are one thing that any employer values greatly and can be the ice breaker as to whether you are employed or not. This video is essential for every design student to see as its detailed look into design practices highlights the attention to detail, processes, skills etc. that we will come across and be required to develop in our future careers.
