The Project
This project was very open ended and allowed
us to research a topic of interest and identify design
opportunities. Through rounds of iteration, we were
able to collect lots of research on our topic, narrow
our research down to an area we could design for, and
figure out exactly what the right message, people, and
way is for our design. The project concluded with
designing three pieces to tell the story of the system
we had worked to design.
Phase I
The first phase of this project was the discovery
phase, here we identified our topics of interest
and conducted in-depth blended research. From
the research, we identified top facts and design
opportunities.
Topic Ideation
To begin our topic selection, we were asked to 1. Sushi
list twenty areas of interest. These were sorted in 2. Baltimore Ravens football team
order of what we were most passionate about. My list: 3. Beluga whales
4. Dogs
5. Sea Turtles
6. Performance Art
7. Hawaii
8. The Museum of Modern Art
9. Roland TR-808 drum machine
10. Bering Sea Fishing
11. The Great Barrier Reef
12. Paris Fashion Week
13. Rei Kawakubo
14. Scuba Diving
15. Supercars
16. Switzerland
17. Electric Vehicles
18. Japanese stationery
19. Ambient music
20. Sunflower farming
Topic Selection
We were able to gauge class interest in our
top three topics to help choose an area to research.
By doing this, I was able to find out that the class
was particularly interested in the topics of Sushi
and Beluga Whales, but not so interested in the
Baltimore Ravens.

Narrowing Down
In the process of doing initial research I was
able to find many more angles and interesting ways
of looking at the topic of Sushi over Beluga Whales.
This led to the decision to solely conduct research on
sushi moving forward.

Phase III
The third phase of this project was the create
phase, here we identified three pieces to design to tell
the story of our system, and then iterated to design
these pieces. The creative brief was used to help make
design decisions throughout this process.
Three Deliverables
The three pieces I thought to design to tell the
story of my right way system were a recipe card
for students to follow while preparing food, an
ingredients bag which can contain some ingredients
required in class recipes, and a plating dish for
students to place their finished pieces of sushi on.
Round 1
For the first round, I called the program “Sushi
in Schools” and began trying to design the three
deliverables. Many decisions had to be made such
as picking typefaces, picking a color palette, and
creating a logo.

1. Cook rice and

Class Feedback
I was able to share my round 2 with the class
and receive feedback. The main feedback I received
informed me that the striped motif and globe icons
that I was using were not working, and a full redesign
would be necessary.
Round 3
For the third round, I tried to redesign two of
my deliverables: the ingredients bag and the craft
box. I did not use the same stripes motif or globe
icons that I had used in previous rounds. I also
tried to redesign the Schoolshi logo and feature it
on these pieces.

I was able to share my round 3 with the class

informed me that the current designs were not fun
and would not appeal to children.
Round 4
For the fourth round, I redesigned all of
my deliverables. I tried to use a motif of colored
ingredients coming together, and making all the
deliverables look like sushi. I thought this decision
would also make the pieces more fun for the audience
of elementary school children. In this round, I also
played around with my typeface choices.

Class Feedback
I was able to share my round 4 with the class and
receive feedback for the final time. The main feedback
I received informed me that I had over designed and
needed to streamline all three pieces. The deliverables
all being different shapes did not help this fact. I also
was notified that the pieces needed to better explain
what Schoolshi actually is.
Final Round
The fifth round of redesigning ended up being
the last for this project. In this round, I worked to
better streamline my three deliverables by keeping
a consistent shape and motif. I still wanted all the
pieces to look like sushi because I felt this was fun
and would connect well to an audience of children.
