	Bringing Design to Software - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Designing for the full range of human experience may well be the theme for the next generation of discourse about software design.
		Designing is not a process of careful planning and execution, but rather it is like a dialog, in which the dialog partner—the designed object itself—can generate unexpected interruptions and contributions.
		Whenever a designer constructs an object for human use, she is drawing on a background of shared design language in the community and culture.

	eGlobal Design >> Design
		Design crosses almost every platform in today’s world, it’s what helped you to decide on the last piece of furniture that you purchased, it’s what makes your favorite electronic function better than the rest, and it’s what attracts you to new products on the shelves.
		Design at eGlobal Design is viewed as an activity that translates an idea into a blueprint for something useful, whether it's a car, furniture, a graphic, a service or a process.
		Design should be at the heart of a coherent strategy to communicate a company's values.

		The report opened the door for design improvements, many of which are now being deployed in "Pebble Projects," a research program run by the Center for Health Design to help hospitals compare design innovations with pre-existing conditions.
		The opportunities for using design to improve hospitals range from the subtle to the mundane, the environmental to the ergonomic.

	Where Design Lives
		Actually it is more accurate to describe the efforts of Michael and Brett as “product design,” rather than “industrial design,” simply because their workday assignments consist of items such as portable folding desks, range hoods, personal GPS systems, and crane cabs.
		Their reasons for living in Riverwest reflect the reasons other residents might give: a sense of community, the character of the homes, and an urban environment rich with restaurants, clubs, and other activities.
		The two came to the design field in a roundabout way: Brett started out in architecture, Michael chose a more art-oriented educational path, and like the vast majority of us, neither were familiar with the profession of industrial design, let alone what sort of work it entails.

	uiGarden.net - Weaving Usability and Cultures: Human-Centered Design Considered Harmful
		The plethora of bad designs in the world would seem to be excellent demonstrations of the perils of ignoring the people for whom the design is intended.
		But even for those devices created by formal design teams, populated with people whose job title was “designer,” these designers used their own understanding of the activities to be performed to determine how the device would be operated.
		I guess it is up to the designer of the system to be able to know when and where to draw the line of which path to take and how much involvement they should take with them.

	Designing with Restrictions: How Limitations Can Improve Design - Articles - Fresh Tilled Soil
		The message on the sign was something to the affect of ‘Our designers begin with a price and design backwards from there, giving you the most value for your money.’ I immediately began visualizing the process and imagining the types of decision a designer would make differently with such restrictions.
		Designers often begin conceptualizing within the two dimension of width and height – perhaps this is because we’re so used to handing off finished projects as either 800 x 600 websites or 8.5 by 11 brochures.
		For instance, if the presentation of the design is forced into the fl and white realm, the designer will have to rely on clarity and contrast instead of using millions of shades of colors to get their point across.

	Arango Design Foundation
		The Arango Design Foundation bases its efforts on the conviction that design underlies the esthetic quality of millions of lives; that design matters on every level.
		Its goals are to educate consumers about the role of design in everyday life, to recognize achievement in design and to call the attention of industry, government, the press and the public to the contributions of industrial design and architecture to society.
		Today's definition of design excellence includes far more than esthetic and functional criteria: the Foundation emphasizes the environmental consequences of design and stresses universal access-- that is, the creation of products useful to all elements of society.

	Rohdesign Weblog \| Graphic & Interactive Design: Five Observations
		A traditional designer may be challenged by living projects, while an interactive designer may be challenged by projects with definite life spans that freeze once the ink is dry.
		Partly this approach was to give interactive designers an idea where some graphic designers might be coming from in their thinking, while also challenging and encouraging tradditional graphic designers to think a little differently and embrace this other discipline of design.
		In many ways, interactive design is still in the "settling in" phase and my sense is that it's taking longer and is maybe not as easy for some traditional graphic designers to assimilate.

	How Hospital Design Saves Lives - Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		But given the financial strain hospitals are under -- a recent McKinsey and Company report showed that, between 1990 and 2004, health-care facilities' compound annual growth rate was 5.1%, while pharmaceuticals and insurance grew 8.9% and 11.3%, respectively -- there's little appetite to invest in untested ideas.
		At best, sustainable design increases natural light and views, improves indoor air quality, and reduces toxic chemicals in hospitals -- a crucial issue in an industry dependent on powerful disinfectants and with staggeringly high rates of adult-onset asthma among staff.
		Known as SB 1953, the legislation requires that all acute care hospitals be seismically upgraded by 2013 -- a move expected to cost at least $41.7 billion, according to a 2002 RAND report, which is currently being revised.

		The goals of design and the success of design in making the relationship with business work are inherently tied to whether or not the project you are working on is on the critical path for the project sponsor.
		Innovation and opportunity are still all around but design as a practice is having to evolve and adapt as clients are more cautious, expecting more for their money and becoming more customer centric.

	cityofsound: Tom Moran on Everyday Adaptive Design (long)
		In Generic Design, where, as Herb Simon noted, "everyone designs", designing is a type of cognitive activity, an approach (as opposed to, say, diagnosis or clearer decision making) where design problems are ill-defined and ill-structured.
		design is not limited to the province of specialists who have formal training...
		Usability is a self-defining problem for the design, due to the initial, fundamental approach to design, not the effectiveness of a particular design.
