Methods at work. Conscious application of design methods for successful product development

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Design (Industry Graphics Fashion) grade: 13 Linnaeus University (Design) course: Methods at Work language: English abstract: Many design methods are unconsciously used in creative processes (Lindemann 2003). However understanding design methods better gives the opportunity to improve the design process by applying adequate methods more consciously (Andreasen Hansen & Cash 2015). Even though unconscious design methods are processed much faster they can lead to ineffectiveness (Lindemann 2003). By making use of adequate methods the process can lead to a more satisfying outcome. Furthermore the design process becomes more approachable to other disciplines working with a designer.
