Refine the thesis deliverable that you have chosen to work on first, and make a draft of visual system guidelines in the thesis process book.

Concept 3:

Visual System Guidelines

App

Reflection

How have you decided to break down the information in your thesis process book?

I plan to divide the thesis process book into four parts: 1. Discovery: problem statement, opportunities and challenges, Solutions 2. Definitions: research and insights, strategies 3. Development: identity design process, visual system guidelines 4. Delivery: deliverables design process and results presentation

What have you learned from documenting your visual system as a set of guidelines?

In the process of documenting the visual system guidelines, I revisited the logo and started thinking about how the logo would work with the environment in actual use. This process allows me to better discover what problems the logo still has and whether there is anything that needs to be modified.

What did you learn during this process that was new or interesting?

For this week's assignment, I thought that the visual system guidelines could bring my project closer to a real project because the guideline needs to illustrate the specifications in actual use.
