Abstract
Design starts from a concept to a thoughtful, practical finished product. What was expected at the beginning of this process does not necessarily look alike with the completed work. The fact that when designers adjusting details can simultaneously change whatever was on the sketchbook. Common problems such as gravity, user experience, manufacturing, material and budget limitations can usually be the main topic on the problem-solving checklist. During the process of developing the form to satisfy the function, the designer needs to compromise. In my MFA thesis, I am going to describe how the process has taught me to be more adaptable to the many requirements of a specific project.
