There is an art to information system design. There must be a vision of the desired result, and what the purpose is in creating the work. There are multiple tools to choose from for the development of a system, and you utilize the tools that best work for your purpose. When the blank canvas is looked upon, it is best to visualize the steps that must be made to achieve the envisioned outcome. After taking a few steps, it is beneficial to stand back and observe your progress, gauging the effects of your work. If the work is not moving in the desired direction, the steps can be reevaluated and changed according to the need of the business. There are times when the end result does not have the impact of the original vision, and the system is scrapped and a newly stretched canvas is placed upon the easel.
I see system design as a process that involves creativity as well as technical knowledge. The process of problem solving, including prototyping and finding the best approach for a needed result, requires both sides of the brain. That is why I am interested in system analysis and design…it is a challenge that will bring growth to both my logic and creativity.
