Design Thinking Graphic #131

Open emily-phet opened 5 years ago

emily-phet commented 5 years ago

We'd like to have a nicely designed Design Thinking graphic to support our co-design work.

Here's some artwork that is similar to what we have in mind - graphic1, graphic2, and graphic3.

Also - this.

More details to come once @elharden2 adds the list of stages she'd like to use.

@emily-phet what do you think about these stages?

Learn (about the users and context) Define (the problem or design challenge) Brainstorm (design ideas) Build (a prototype) Test(the prototype) Finish

My idea is that the Brainstorm, Build, and Test steps can be displayed in a circle (like the 'Research' step in the PhET R&D diagram) to indicate that you can cycle through these steps as many times as needed until you feel like you have a final product or design. Thoughts on the word choices, etc.?

Also, wanted to share this. Neat UX process game board figure playing on chutes and ladders.

From conversation with @elharden2 today:

Learn (about the users and context) Define (the problem or design challenge) Brainstorm (design ideas) Build and Refine (a prototype) Test and Retest (the prototype) Share

Brainstorm, Build and Refine, and Share steps can be displayed in a circle (like the 'Research' step in the PhET R&D diagram) to indicate that you can cycle through these steps as many times as needed until you feel like you have a final product or design
