It is our final project called Brevimento as Team Tree Rex. While we are preparing the project, we tried to integrate Brazilian culturel values like dances into it. We hope that our collaborator team will have fun!!!

In this meeting, Team 11 (Design League Team) and Team 18 (Team Tree Rex) shared their final design concepts to each other.
Firstly, Team 11 showed and explained us their final Project. It is a perfect game for people to know each other. This game is comprised of 50 cards which were categorized based on their difficulty levels. For instance, while “This or That?” and “It’s True?” questions provide you 1 point, “Best…” and “What…” questions provide you 3 points, if you predict your friend’s answers correctly. We’re really looking forward to playing this game as Team Tree Rex. Thanks,Design League Team!!!
Secondly, we showed our final project called “Brevimento” which is directly related to difficulty of mobility concept. It is a multifunctional game which consists of physical and mental parts. If seniors want to improve their physical health, they can choose dance away part which has samba and carimbo options (Brazilian traditional dances). If they want to improve their mental skills, they can select challenge your mind part which has tangram and sudoku options. We hope that Design League Team like this game.
In this week, we met with Team Design League (our collaborator team) and we shared our design processes with each other. It means, which solutions we tried to find for our design problems. For example, we talked about, what we researched for new thoughts and which design methods we used to explain our initial ideas such as preparing persona or moodboard. Then, we listened our collaborator team’s interesting design thoughts like mobile applications based on their personas’ needs and they tried to explain how it can be used. Finally, both teams tried to give lots of positive/negative feedback for the next design steps.
Last week, we were very excited and happy because we met our paired team members who participate in Global Studio from Brazil. Firstly, we introduced ourselves, we tried to pronounce our names😊 and we mentioned about our countries.
Secondly, we talked about the topic of the project called “Gifting Happiness”. We shared our ideas and we tried to understand our perspectives and feelings about gifting happiness. Then, we decided to show our design brief which included some titles such as expected goals, design requirements and the guidelines to learn their comments and suggestions. Thanks to the feedback, we reviewed the design brief.
Finally, we can say that we communicate with Team 11 easily and this situation is very important for our next meetings and project’s phases!!!
Hello!!! My name is Gülşah Şimşek which is a difficult name to pronounce for foreign students, I know😊. I’m third-year student from the department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University which we say ODTÜ in Turkey. I live in Ankara for many years. I have a parrot whose name is Çarşı. I cannot say that I’m a bookworm but I like reading philosophy books especially Schopenhauer’s. I like also listening to classical music (my favourite is Rahmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor, Op.18).
If we talk about why I wanted to be a part of Global Studio, the main reason is to meet international students and understand their design perceptions. I hope, we will have a good experience for our professional lives with Global Studio. Have a good semester!!!
