LSBA 392 - Self Submission
Natahsha Prakash
April 3, 2015
Initially starting in the Fall of 2014, and continuing into Spring 2015, I worked with Janet Waters on my second tutorial. The focus of the tutorial was the explore the components and influencing psychological factors that impact someone’s ability to be productive. The tutorial looked into three main areas of workplace/interior design: lighting technologies, colour, and employee’s roles in creating their own spaces. In the Fall, Janet and I met bi-weekly for the first half of the semester to highlight concerns and questions that come from my eight annotated bibliographies. The annotated bibliographies were hosted on my productivity blog which also hosts the work from my LSBA 391 tutorial with Joseph Fall from Spring 2014.
Prior to the tutorial, I had no experience with psychology - my only experience from Methods of Inquiry where Janet was also an instructor. The course material consisted of eight academic peer-reviewed journals that looked into the influential factors of interior design. Due to the lack of available research available, resources were only extracted from these documents - as no textbooks focuses solely on these impacts. Often, material online mentions ‘colour psychology,’ encouraging artists, designers and amateur designers to explore certain colour combinations because of certain meanings. However, what my research concluded is that even the world’s brightest in this field are unable to have a clear understanding when it comes to colour psychology. What these psychologists found is that colour psychology relies heavily on individuals, that perceptions and assumptions are made from personal experiences - that associations to certain colours only comes from individual perceptions.
Because of personal circumstances, I completed my LSBA 390 Tutorial with Graham Cook also in the same semester. While the course load of seven courses was incredibly overwhelming, I did appreciate the opportunity to work on both - allowing myself to make stronger connections. These new found connections between lean management styles, employee creativity, and interior design have helped to bring a stronger sense of direction for my upcoming graduation product starting in Fall 2015 with Lori Walker.
For the final graduation project, I am focusing on the six-credit option to explore not only ergonomics and management styles but also the contributing factors of employee wellness, interpersonal relationships, effective leadership skills, design, and habit.
