Start of Design Process OUGD405


  • more ideas generate and process
  • approach conceptual and practical way of working
  • deliver findings in a way that engages and surprises.

Edward De Bono - design seeks value and designs for the future. 

Lateral Thinking - if you do not know the usual approach to a problem, you can more easily come up with a fresh approach. - suspend your thinking.

Provocative Operation - its hard to make objective decisions with subjective believes. 

two parts to working out ideas 

  • generating publications 
  • movement- how you take the publication and make it into an idea
PO 
  • escape- pick something we take for granted and 'drop' it.
e.g. watchdogs that bark
po- watchdogs that don't bark
movement: watchdogs trained to press button triggering alarm and alarming authorities.

  • reversal - take a normal relationship and reverse it
  • distortion - you make a change in the normal sequence or change a normal relationship.
  • exaggeration - exaggeration any one aspect of an initial statement making it somewhat unreasonable. Avoid exaggerating to zero. 
e.g. calls for only 2 mins 
movement - utilise time 

  • wishful thinking - make  statement in the form "Wouldn't it be nice if-" Should be more than just a desire. 
  • PO - pencil writes by itself.
  • random word - thinker chooses the word at random or out of a dictionary and relates it to the area they are thing about.
  • provides a new entry point. 
  • linking the random word to the subject at hand.

  • DECONSTRUCTION- Ellen Lupton 
  • book - french concurrence of the letter (visible language) 
  • Katherine McCoy -
  • Post structuralism - more options and more wide (multiplicity) - its very critical; but in graphic design it has a more positive meaning e.g. Wolfgang Weingart - started to change the rules of modernism (post modernism) started the New Swiss Style typography.
