Design With Intent
In previous blog entry, I mentioned how useful the P.O.I.N.T. method from IDEO has been for me. D.School at Stanford University, whose program was helped founded by David Kelley, the founder of IDEO, released a boot camp bootleg of their creative method teachings. Just thought it was pure gold for anybody interested doing any type of design work work or just coming up with creative new ideas. Here’s the link to the document.
Another document that I just found that’s pretty useful is the Design With Intent tool kit. It shows you 101 patterns in design that helps influences behavior of users and improve the users’ experience. It’s amazingly well thought out.
I’ve been trying to decide whether some of my ideas for possible iPhone Apps makes sense or not to do. I’ve been using Adobe Flash to prototype… by doing so, I can really see that some ideas are just crap… lol. Others, I’m trying to work out further to see if it’s something I can bootstrap on mine, or look for some seed money to help push it further.
