Second, design is a practice built upon making things for other people.<\/p>\n<p>p24<br \/>\nWe can get closer to the wisdom of other people by having them explain their decisions &#8211; not just in How they were executed, but Why they were made.<\/p>\n<p>p33<br \/>\nMy work was flat, because it was missing the spark that comes from creating something you believe in for someone you care about. This is the source of the highest craft, because an affection for the audience produces the care necessary to make the work well.<\/p>\n<p>p39<br \/>\nI find the best way to gain momentum is to think of the worst possible way to tackle the project . . . every idea you have after these will be better.  <\/p>\n<p>p54<br \/>\nMagicians don&#8217;t just create new things, they invent new ways of doing so.<\/p>\n<p>p56<br \/>\n\u2026 our Henry Fords, our Billie Holidays, our Guttenbergs, Disneys, and Marie Curies &#8211; do not stand on the inside of what is possible and push; they imagine what is just outside of what we deem possible and pull us towards their vision of what is better.<\/p>\n<p>p62<br \/>\nThe best way to describe design is that it seeks to connect things by acting as a bridge between them . . . the design of a restaurant is meant to fuse with the chef&#8217;s culinary approach to create a more provocative and full dinning experience for the eater.<\/p>\n<p>p64<br \/>\nDesign can speak the tongue of art with the force of commerce.<\/p>\n<p>p73<br \/>\nThe primary purpose of the design is to have it do something particular, not be any particular thing \u2026 design is a field of outcomes and consequences more than one of artifacts.<\/p>\n<p>p77<br \/>\nthe best design has to offer much more than making problems go away \u2026 additive forces \u2026 it help us live well by producing and elevating new kinds of value, such as engagement, participation, and happiness \u2026 at its root, is simple people making useful things for other people.<\/p>\n<p>p91<br \/>\nThere are two successful outcomes when a design focuses on its audience: resonance [stories] and engagement [frameworks].<\/p>\n<p>p91<br \/>\n&#8220;What if the audience is smarter than I am?&#8221; \u2026 it seems silly to not have a way to gather their thoughts, opinions, and proposed solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above is a photo of where we had our Chicago ux book club discussion.
