Positivism in Design applies Positive Psychology to the design process.
Positivismis a subfield of psychology that focuses on the positive.
It does not deny the negative.
It accentuates the positive and builds on it.
Encourage others to use it.
Imagine how well a team of hardworking
engineers, designers, developers, & stakeholders would do
Our goal is to create a pleasurable experience for the user.
The best way to reach that goal is to
create a healthy, functional team environment
for the people creating that experience.
Here is how to be positive in design.
Critical Thinking Criticize Evaluate Criticize Critique Criticize
Create metrics to measure positive aspects of a design & share them.
to build new iterations of a design
rather than tearing down old ones.
If wered-line something in a design,
we make it about the design, not the designer.
Then, we must immediately offer an alternative or solution
or we have to admit that we can’t, and ask for help.
If we can’t, we loose the privilege of evaluating someone’s work,
and we are not allowed to red-line.
Apply positivism to a design for at least a minute.
Maybe you can stretch that minute into an hour
