20. Conclusion
Before this assignment I usually did not pay attention to details. Sometimes I
entered stores, realizing that something disturbs me, but no knowing surely
why and what. The tools provided in this assignment helped changing my
perception and focus more on the hidden tracks.
In my career of designer I need to apply methodologies to realize a specific
project, however it came clear to me that everyday we are missing things that
can become opportunities.
My biggest surprises is that I can see different things in places that I already
had been visiting before, broadening my concept of design
There are many opportunities hidden in plain sight, but we need to pay
attention to be able to make of them something different, and change them
into something better.
