This slides returns every so often in the Interaction Design course I teach,
and I like it a lot:
designing interactive systems
is an integrated, iterative process, aimed at
understanding, designing for, and evaluating with
users

As I said, this is used in a training situation where, over the course of 3
days, I deal with design research, design (from concept, through structure,
interaction, content, and layout to visual) and design evaluation, as well as
integrating the process into the overall product/service design process.
Elements of the sentence above get highlighted at the beginning and end of each
section:
- "designing interactive systems": terminology and methodology (day 1)
- "an integrated, iterative process": integrating design in the overall process
(day 3)
- "understanding [..] users": design research, day 1
- "designing for [..] users" : design layers (day 2)
- "evaluating with [..] users": design evaluation (day 3)
- "users": after every section in day 2, I ask "where are the users?"
