What wows?Design Tool: Co-Creation.
Prototyping
Use same grp to test ideas rather than generate them.
3 different versions of the menu – asked workshop participants which they liked and also stuff like colors they favored; whether they preferred photos or illustrations.
Design Tool: Visualization.Make it tangible and concrete. Draw a
picture, tell a story, take a photo, make a map..
Makes an abstract idea more clear, visible & concrete & understandable
Don’t just talk about different options, show different options.12
