THE BIG IDEA

14. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
THE BIG IDEA
FOR ME
DESIGN THINKING
IS THE SKILL OF EMPATHY
The naked truth is that
we sell our caring.

15. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
THE BIG IDEA
FOR ME
DESIGN THINKING
IS THE SKILL OF EMPATHY
The naked truth is that
we sell our caring.
People don’t want
brands.
They want good and
experience.
DESIGN
IS NOT FOR
THE BRANDS.
IT’S FOR PEOPLE!

16. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
DESIGNER IS NOT
THE KEY PERSON
IN DESIGN PROCESS
PEOPLE WHO USE
DESIGN PRODUCTS
ARE THE KEYS
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENTS
Design in not
an art. It’s a tool that we
use to make people
happier. To design things
driven by selfish reasons
is the professional
deadlock.

HEART

HOW
DO WE
UNDERSTAND
DESIGN?

WORLD OF WORDS
DETERMINATION
Design is the creation of a
plan or convention for the
construction of an object or
a system (as in
architectural blueprints,
engineering
drawing,business process,
circuit diagrams and
sewing patterns). Design
has different connotations
in different fields (see
design disciplines below).
In some cases the direct
construction of an object
(as in pottery, engineering,
management, cowboy
coding and graphic design)
is also considered
to be design.

21. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
DESIGN
IS NOT
A SCIENCE
SOME THINGS NEED NO DEFINITION TO BE UNDERSTOOD

22. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
DESIGN
IS
BELIEF
YOU NEED TO FEEL TO UNDERSTAND

23. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
BELIEF
IN PEOPLE
DESIGN IS
They exist! They are real!
Belief in their problems.
They are like you.

24. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
BELIEF
IN USEFULNESS
DESIGN IS
People wants to be happy.
We can help.
Useless design is absurdness.
The deadlock for all.
They are like you.

25. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
BELIEF
IN YOURSELF
DESIGN IS
It’s really hard to believe in yourself until you
start to believe in other people.
We have to do something for people,
but they have no need to say thank you.
You are the same as them.

DESIGN PROCESS SCHEME
IMPULSES
Designer
DESIGN
ARTIFACT
Design product People who use
design things
In this case the designer stop
caring about the design product
after he finishes it.
Designer only thinks about the
artifact that he’s creating at the
moment: about content and the
formal appearance.

29. WHERE DOES DESIGN THINKING START MAGDALENA FESTIVAL 2013
We have two impulses. The first
one is when designing of an artifact
happens. The second is when the
design artifact interacts with people.
In this case we have a problem.
Both impulses are completely
separated from each other.
This is the artifact-oriented design
process that lead us to everywhere
but usefulness for the people.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE, BABY!
We do not create design things first.
We design the experience which
is connected to an artifact that we
create.
Design artifact is the result of
designing experience scenarios.

A Curriculum Statement
Designing Experiences, Not Objects
Meredith Davis
AIGA Journal of Interaction Design Education
November 2000
“THE CONCLUSION REACHED
BY THIS GROUP IS THAT
DESIGN IS INCREASINGLY
LESS ABOUT CREATING
OBJECTS AND MORE ABOUT
CREATING CONDITIONS THAT
SUPPORT USER EXPERIENCES,
AND THAT THIS EXPERIENTIAL
NATURE OF INTERACTIVE
COMMUNICATION AND PRODUCTS WILL
ONLY ACCELERATE UNDER RAPID
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
THAT REDUCES THE NEED TO BE
IN A PARTICULAR PLACE AT
A PARTICULAR TIME TO
ACCOMPLISH A TASK..”
