This is the final culmination of all that i have learned about design thinking and the design process over these past few months. The goal of this project was to think of a problem or situation that needs solving or improvement. The situation I thought of is the concept of the Bucket List. Everyone seems to have one, but it is easy to lose sight of your dreams, hard to find the time to accomplish your list, or simple do not have the means to accomplish it. That eventually led to a lot of research and brainstorming which gave me the idea of "The Bucket Truck" as seen below:
Final Sketch
After banging out some sketching ideas, conducting a survey, and one on one interviews, I decided that what people needed the most from a design for a better bucket list was continence, and the ability to do activities with other people. Thus the Bucket Truck was born. The concept is that the truck will come to a location, with a "Menu" of all the things you could do in your area, such as sky-dive, swim with dolphins, horse back ride, rock climb, go to the beach etc. all things that might be on someones bucket list. The truck would bring you to the location of the activity or event and would help you plan, enjoy and even capture pictures of you at the event. The reason for the truck and not an app is that not everyone has an iPhone, and there is no human connection in an app. There would be real people working for the Bucket Truck that would be "Dream Facilitators" and help you accomplish things on your bucket list. The truck would also take requests and suggestions for new ideas and activities. This all comes down to Empathy. Many people stated in my survey that if they had one day to live they would spend it with friends and family, this truck gives people a way to do just that.
