The last blog post I wrote was about starting design with a problem rather than a solution, and it came from a conversation with Stephen Anderson about a presentation he was putting together for the IA Summit. Here’s his presentation, and (of course) it’s great stuff:
So, several conversations recently are coming together: – Judy Unrein’s post on Mike Monteiro’s How Designers Destroyed the World talk, and her discussion about how designers can’t be just be order takers (go watch the talk – it’s amazing) – A conversation with Stephen Anderson about his upcoming IA Summit…
So, my self-appointed mission today is to encourage as many people as possible to go look at the slides from Stephen Anderson’s latest talk about things like curiosity, design, play and experience. So so great. [slideshare id=14849448&doc=euro-ia-closing-plenary-what-are-you-curious-about-121023075139-phpapp01]
So, still need a gift for the design geek on your holiday shopping list?* I’ve mentioned Stephen Anderson before (I’m a big ol’ fan), but I particularly love his Mental Notes cards, which cover dozens of psychology principles that impact how we design. Need to jump start your design process?…
