3. A Quintessential Activity of Design

5. We are deluding ourselves if we think that the products that we design are the "things" that we sell, rather than the individual, social and cultural experience that they engender, and the value and impact that they have. From a Materialist to Experiential Perspective of Design

14. The Anatomy of Sketching Quick/Timely Inexpensive / Disposable Plentiful Clear vocabulary. You know that it is a sketch (lines extend through endpoints, …) No higher resolution than required to communicate the intended purpose/concept Resolution of the rendering does not suggest a degree of refinement of the concept that exceeds its actual state Ambiguous

15. If you want to get the most out of a sketch, you need to leave big enough holes. There has to be enough room for the imagination.

16. Sketching in Interaction Design Analogous to traditional sketching Shares all of the same key attributes More feel than look Must accommodate time & dynamics Phrasing

25. Exploration of Alternatives … a designer that pitched three ideas would probably be fired. I'd say 5 is an entry point for an early formal review (distilled from 100's). … if you are pushing one you will be found out, and also fired. … it is about open mindedness, humility, discovery, and learning. If you aren't authentically dedicated to that approach you are just doing it wrong! Alistair Hamilton VP Design Symbol Technologies
