The Design Method: Using Process to Hack Design

  • concentrate on making things work
  • design = a job
  • designer = editor
  • designer = tailor
  • systems = design

The Design Method = DISCOVERY | PLANNING | CREATIVE | APPLICATION

  • try abandoning convention by not presenting 3 solutions
  • agree on a destination and move toward it with iterations
Every design choice must have a reason.
  • present early and often
  • abandon the "reveal"
  • don't surprise the client
  • goals are different than objectives
  • cool and different isn't acceptable - it has to be useful and functional
  • strive for clarity
  • establish tone via 3 descriptive words
