This essay will identify the importance of reflection, where it has its most significant place in the design process and how the reflection develops with experience. Though there is theories, there is a lack studies about reflection during the design process within digital media production. Based on Donald Schöns theory (1983) about reflection and Löwgren and Stolterman (2004) description of the design process, this essay will bring an understanding of the complexity of a design situation. It is a qualitative study where five respondents working with digital media production have been taking part in interviews regarding their design process. Introspection is used to get further understanding of the importance and development of reflection, where two practitioners writes diaries during a concept-development of a commercial. The practitioners and respondents ability to reflect will be analysed using King and Kitcheners “reflective judgement stages” (1994, referred in Hoare, 2006, 76-77) and Dreyfus and Dreyfus “five steps from novice to expert” (1986, 21- 35). The result will show how communication is a crucial component not only for the individual designer but also for the design team. Further the result shows that the ability to reflect differs in relation to experience and the importance as a designer to be open for flaws in its own creating in order to develop its practice.
