Dmitry:"Papanek also makes another statement that I think hints at the futility of all the "defining the damn thing""
Yerp. In the context of the discussion I prefer to think of design in terms of how, not what. Most people inherently 'design', its the fabric of life, but not everyone uses methodology. I dont recall if I read this verbatim or coagulated it from a number of sources... when someone wants my elevator pitch on what I do, whether its a veep or granny I some it up as follows.. Design is the art of deleting the non essential. My job is understanding the essential. The problem with that viewpoint as I've come to discover; people desire more than the essentials. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
