Book excerpt: Designmuster sind die Bausteine für Design und können in natürlicher oder vom Menschen geschaffener Umgebung beobachtet werden. Diese Musterbeispiele stellen eine visuelle Datenbank verschiedener Lösungsmöglichkeiten für Designer aus verschiedenen Disziplinen dar. Die Beziehungen zwischen Form, Gestalt und Farbe und die Art und Weise, wie wir diese Beziehungen verstehen und wahrnehmen ist das Thema dieses Buches. Designer müssen in der Lage sein, diese Grundmuster zu verstehen, wenn sie eine effektive und kreative Designlösung finden wollen. Dieses Buch definiert diese allgemeinen "Regeln" der Wahrnehmung und unterstützt so den Designprozeß, indem es die Voraussetzungen für Kreativität, Visualisierung und Problemlösungen schafft. Dabei werden nicht nur Techniken zur Entwicklung von Kreativität im Designprozeß behandelt, sondern ebenso die Entwicklung des Designprozesses selbst, vom ersten Schritt bis zum fertigen Produkt, durch Analogieschlüsse zwischen Produkt und dem Musterbeispiel das dazu die Anregungen lieferte.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing insight on how to be a successful and strategic designer, David Holston answers many of the questions plaguing the profession today, including how to boost efficiency and enhance creativity. The design profession has been asking itself some important questions lately: How do designers deal with the increasing complexity of design problems? What skills do designers need to be competitive in the future? How do designers become co-creators with clients and audiences? How do designers prove their value to business? Designers are looking for ways to stay competitive in the conceptual economy and address the increasing complexity of design problems. By adopting a process that considers collaboration, context and accountability, designers move from 'makers of things' to 'design strategists.' The Strategic Designer shows designers how to build strong client relationships, elevate their standing with clients, increase project success rates, boost efficiency, and enhance their creativity.
Download or read book Design Methods written by John Chris Jones and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1992-11-11 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its initial publication in 1970, Design Methods has been considered the seminal work on design methodology. Written by one of the founders of the design methods movement, it has been highly praised in international journals and has been translated into Japanese, Romanian, Polish, Russian, and Spanish. As Jones states in the preface: "Alongside the old idea of design as the drawing of objects that are then to be built or manufactured there are many new ideas of what it is, all very different: designing as the process of devising not individual products but whole systems or environments such as airports, transportation, hypermarkets, educational curricula, broadcasting schedules, welfare schemes, banking systems, computer networks; design as participation, the involvement of the public in the decision-making process; design as creativity, which is supposed to be potentially present in everyone; design as an educational discipline that unites arts and science and perhaps can go further than either; and now the idea of designing Without a Product, as a process or way of living in itself." Design Methods first evaluates traditional methods such as design-by-drawing and shows how they do not adequately address the complexity of demands upon today’s designer. The book then provides 35 new methods that have been developed to assist designers and planners to become more sensitive to user needs. These methods move beyond a focus on the product to the thought that precedes it. Throughout, the book’s emphasis on integrating creative and rational skills directs readers away from narrow specialization to a broader view of design. The new methods are described and classified in a way that makes it easier for designers and planners to find a method that suits a particular design situation. They include logical procedures such as systematic search and systems engineering, data gathering procedures such as literature searching and the writing of questionnaires, innovative procedures such as brainstorming and synectic and system transformation, and evaluative procedures such as specification writing and the selection of criteria. Offering a wider view—accompanied by appropriate skills—than can be obtained from the teaching of any specialized design profession, Design Methods is important reading for designers and teachers in numerous fields. It will be welcomed by engineers, architects, planners, and landscape architects, as well as by interior, graphic, product, and industrial designers. This extraordinary book will provide key insights to software designers and numerous others outside traditional design professions who are nevertheless creatively involved in design processes. It is also relevant to the teaching of cultural studies, technology, and any kind of creative project.
