Solution - Design Flow Kit

Legend

Show basic legend

Learn about the use of the 12 design elements and the methods.
Click above on the basic legend from the physical kit or surf through the more extensive legend.

On the bottom of the page of each element you find some relevant ‘methods’ (yellow sticky notes). These are just examples, there is an infinite number of methods to choose from.

Methods are placed on a design element, to show where and how they are used in your design flow. A mood board for example can be used as an inspiration board to diverge or as a criterium to converge, on itself its use is not clear. As the mood board example shows us, methods are often used multiple times in a strategy.

Solution

Solution

For many people this a new way of looking at this, but solution is the general word for all solution types: ideas, concepts, prototypes, wireframes, final products, et cetera. These are all expressions of a solution in different forms and different levels of detail. With the yellow sticky notes you specify what kind of solution you mean.

What if I don’t define solutions?
The solutions divide your project into clearly marked results that you work towards. It makes sense to clearly define what these results will be at each stage of the project. Will you work towards concepts on paper or physical prototypes?

Where in the design flow?
Up to you. What can be said, is the more often the solution come back horizontally, the more ‘stages’ you have in your design flow. The more solutions you have vertically, the wider you go, exploring more of the solution space

Which method to use?
Important to consider what is viable. Often people easily say: let’s make a prototype! But making a prototype can be very costly. This is a good moment to discuss what kind of solutions should lead to the final result.
