The Design Studio methodology is a collaborative, fast-paced approach that enables teams to understand project fundamentals and foster creativity through sketching and critique. Key practices include iteration, participation, and open critiques to refine ideas while maintaining a focus on user impact rather than personal preferences. The process emphasizes teamwork, quick idea generation, and shared ownership to develop effective design solutions.
Design Studio: A Methodology of Awesomeness
- 1. Design Studio A Methodology of Awesomeness
- 2. The Methodology Design Studio is a collaborative, fast-paced method that helps teams understand project fundamentals, constraints and opportunities. https://ga- core.s3.amazonaws.com/production/uploads/program/d efault_image/2000/Understanding-Your-Users- Problems.jpg

- 4. Why Use It? ● Collaborative ● Engaging ● Fast ● Team/Client Ownership and overall … it’s alot of FUN! http://www.thevillageofuseful.com.au/wp- content/uploads/2012/08/UX.jpg
- 5. What You’ll Need ● Small Mixture of People (3-6) Try to keep it small, the more people the less ineffective the design studio will be. ● Paper Templates ● Lots of Sharpies o Black o Green o Red ● Timer
- 6. Can’t Draw? Not a Problem! You don’t need to be an artist, mockups are just rough sketches and don’t need to be a masterpiece.
- 7. How It Works Create - sketch lots of ideas on paper. (5 mins)
- 8. How It Works Pitch - explain your idea and how it impact the user. (3 mins) http://ideas.semanticfoundry.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/designStudio1.png
- 9. How It Works Critique - provide pros and cons of ideas and how it will impact the user. (3 mins)
- 10. How It Works Iterate - concepts are extracted, recombined and transformed. (5 mins)
- 11. How It Works Repeat - start process over again until a solution is reached. Create Critique
- 12. SolutionSolution Sketching for a Solution All of these ideas will form the solution to get your project up and running! Solution! Solution Solution
- 13. Key Goals ● Collaborate towards opportunities/constraints/nature ● Take Ideas from perspectives and insights ● Solidify ideas by sharing/evaluating/iterating ● Culture of shared ownership ● Generate ideas quickly ● Open/Honest critiques ● Participant Interaction!
- 14. Giving Feedback ● Focus on how or why a design does/doesn’t satisfy the user's goal. ● Avoid problem solving, the main focus is analyzing merits of the proposed solution. ● Avoid “I Like” and “I Dislike”
