Question

unit 3 - challenge 3.1: creative process
what will likely happen when doing a design project and not following the design process?
a.) the project will be completed faster and more efficiently.
b.) the designer will have more freedom and flexibility.
c.) the project may face unexpected obstacles and pitfalls.
d.) the final design will be more creative and innovative.

Explanation:

The design process is a structured approach that helps in anticipating and addressing potential issues. Skipping it means missing out on steps like research, planning, and prototyping. Without these, unexpected problems (obstacles and pitfalls) are more likely to arise during the project. Options a and d are incorrect because a lack of structure usually doesn't lead to faster/efficient completion or more creativity (as creativity in design often benefits from some structure). Option b is also wrong as the design process allows for a balance - it's not about restricting freedom but guiding it.

Answer:

C. The project may face unexpected obstacles and pitfalls.
