The subtraction
Matthew E. May says: “The subtractive “stop doing” strategy presents a completely different way of thinking about life, work, and the world. In an economic environment where time, money, and attention are fixed or decreasing, in which we all must achieve maximum effect with minimum means, having a good “stop doing” strategy may hold the key. At the very least, it will allow us to make more room for what really matters by eliminating what doesn’t. “
But the turning behavior is not only in assisting anyone who asks, it is essential for those who work needs.
Beyond the capacity of observation and the need for empathy with members of groups where the design thinker falls it is important that he is capable of converting a necessity in an order. Internalize what it takes to learn from others’ lives and not focus on validation of his ideas.
This is a great step for accomplishments, but we must know how to stop it is as if to say take time to time intended to accomplish something. Sigue leyendo
by Jocelyn K. GleiLately, I’ve been thinking a lot about babies – and how the child’s ability to explore, experiment, and make mistakes is an essential part of the creative process. When we are at the height of our creative productivity or “flow” state, our brainwaves reflect a deeply meditative, or “theta,” pattern. As babies and pre-adolescent children, this theta state – characterized by the ability to shut out the world and deeply concentrate and connect with a task at hand – is the norm, enabling children to lose hours playing in completely imaginary worlds. Yet, for adults theta brainwaves are more difficult to access, usually coming only in half-waking states as we slip into dreams.
Rumor has it that Thomas Edison (progenitor of the 99% namesake) would sleep just 4-5 hours a night and then power-nap in order to intentionally access the super-creative powers of the theta state. Edison would grasp a ball bearing in his hand, which he draped over the arm of his chair just above a tin pie plate. As he nodded off in his chair, he’d drop the bearing, and the clanging would wake him up just as he drifted off. Then, he would immediately write down whatever was in his mind.

I enjoy it!
I really like this sentence – the chain of experience – as put forth by Andy Grove in the How to Make an American Job article in BusinessWeek.
Different Forms of Filtering Create Different Forms of Value by Tim Kastelle
Ethan Zuckerman wrote a very interesting post today called What if Search Drove Newspapers? He talks about several different initiatives designed to gauge readers’ interest in different news stories, particularly those that are currently under-reported, and then devising methods for reporting stories on these topics. He asserts (correctly, I think) that this is basically search-driven content development. In particular, this is a strategy that will work well with Google. Sigue leyendo

Why design thinking is good for innovation?
According to Tim Brown “design thinking” is to participate in a dance of four mental states :
Divergence – Is the path to innovation, not an obstacle.
Convergence – It is time to eliminate options and make choices.
Analytical – Without analytical forms of thinking would not be possible to understand complex problems.
Synthetic – is the act of extracting meaningful patterns of the totality of information collected.
These four states are not presented in a logical and predetermined sequence. Here is the intuition that is privileged.
When this dance is performed carefully consider that design can help solve many problems, however, Alan Van Pelt says people are predisposed to cognitive bias and to be led by emotions which can contribute to bad decisions.
In other words, not minimizing these cognitive biases dance is like to trod the foot of your partner.
When we are prone to the pitfalls of decision making, when uncertainty is large, this is where design thinking is more useful.
Often what looks like a useful thing becomes an auxiliary of discomfort. The automotive industry is one example as shown Jeffrey Henning by pointing to research by observation as a key to innovation.
The issues highlighted here reveal not only the need for careful observation and allows an analogy not superficial, but also clearly reveal the existence of excess optimism and its consequences.
Being over-optimistic allows innovation to happen.
The delusional optimism makes us cling to ideas more than we should. Sigue leyendo
There are a lot of general design theories and principles out there that apply to all forms of design, whether in digital or print mediums. These include things like balance and scale, as well as more abstract topics like emotion and what makes for “good” design.
The Principles of Design
This article from Digital Web Magazine covers the basics of design theory, including balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance, and unity. It’s fully illustrated and makes each principle easy to understand.
Graphic Design Theory?
This article from the AIGA archives offers a broad discussion of graphic design theory, offering guidance for designers on a host of topics, including their place within the current DIY culture.
How Good is Good?
This article from Typotheque talks about good design in relation to what the design is for, especially in relation to non-profit causes. There’s a heavy dose of ethical considerations here, as well as some practical information on what makes a good design.
Can Graphic Design Make You Cry?
This article from Design Observer discusses the question, “How…could you make design that communicated to human beings and deliberately drain it of all human content?”
Ten Graphic Design Paradoxes
This article discusses ten of the most common statements or opinions about graphic designers (or said by graphic designers) that are contrary to accepted wisdom. Included are things like “For designers, verbal skills are as important as visual skills,” and “I’m a professional: I know best.”
As designers, we often focus on the practical aspects of design above all else. We focus on what works, with little regard for why it works. And in our day-to-day work, that outlook serves us well. It lets us get our work done in an efficient, professional manner, and generally nets good results.
But spending some time on the theory behind the graphic design principles we use every day can expand our design horizons. It can open up new avenues of creativity and experimentation that can lead our designs from just good, to fantastic. On that note, below are 50 excellent resources and articles that discuss graphic design theory, including layout, color theory, and typography. Feel free to share additional resources and articles in the comments.
