With stepping back in designing, designer can get an overview and broader perspective on issues, and also explore further associations and possibilities. BACK 1. mindmaps 2. abstraction hierarchy 3. infographics
Mindmaps The mind map harnesses the full range of cortical skills- words, image, number, logic, rhythm, colour, and spatial awareness - in a single powerful technique. In so doing it gives you the freedom to roam the infinite expanse of your brain. Techniques 1. use emphasis 2. use association 3. be clear 4. develop a personal style Layout 1. use hierarchy 2. use numerical order
Mindmaps Tips! Do Don’t 1. use keywords 2. add blank lines 3. ask questions 4. add images 5. maintain awareness of your infinite associational capacity 1. make mindmaps that aren’t really mindmaps 2. have the idea that phrases are more meaningful 3. have the idea that a ‘messy’ mindmap is no good 4. have a negative emotional reaction to any mindmap
Abstraction Hierarchy The abstraction hierarchy (AH) is one of the best known representation frameworks that has been proposed for describing complex work environments (Rasmussen, 1985). The AH is a multileveled representation format, with each level describing the system in terms of a different set of attributes or "language." Higher levels purpose & functions Lower levels physical implementation
Abstraction Hierarchy Tips! Going up in the Abstraction Hierarchy, you ask Going down in the Abstraction Hierarchy, you ask Why? How? - Use pictures (drawings) when possible. - Think free; there are multiple answers possible on the WHY- or HOW- questions.
