This presentation was given at the annual Boston UPA conference on May 7th, 2012. It describes one of the activities we use at Mad*Pow to generate lots of ideas for design projects while building a sense of collaboration and consensus across a multi-disciplinary project team.

- What I love most in a project is that moment when, in talking to your project team, the reactions you get are like:\nDude! That’s it! Rock! From Subject matter experts\nand Hell yeah! I want to build that! from your developers\n\nUnfortunately, that doesn’t happen for everyone. Or, if it does, it takes a lot of struggle and sacrifice to get there.\n\nHi everyone!\n\nAt mad*pow we all love that moment, and we do our damndest to make sure it happens. And today, i’d like to share one of the tools we use to stack the deck so that it does. And that tool is... DESIGN STUDIO\n
- First, let me share a little bit about our process. This will probably feel pretty familiar to some of you.\n
- We start with research. Knowing who we’re designing for is critical, right. So here we’re focusing on who these people are, not so much in terms of demographics (though in some projects that can be very important) but mostly focusing on behavior and attitudes and emotions.\n
- Then we work to define the experience we’d like people to have with the product or service we’re designing. It’s not about UIs here, it’s about story and dialog. What’s the conversation someone has with the product over time.\n
- And then, we get into the details. Putting together our concepts for the product and fleshing those out into detailed designs of interactions, screens, models, etc.\n\nNow we’re at a point where we can start to visualize what this thing is going to look like, the presence it will have in a physical or virtual space.\n
- You’re all probably pretty familiar with the basic cyclical nature of the design process\nobserve/ a problem space > synthesize what we observe > create a solution to solve some specified problem\nput it out in the world in some way (wireframes, prototype, release, etc) and we begin the cycle again.\n\n
- Most of you are also probably pretty familiar with the idea of generating a number of solutions and evaluating them; eliminating some, refining others, merging parts of them, until we come to one solution.\n\n

- Enter... THE BRAINSTORM\nIts pretty common to see teams pull the brainstorm card when they want to come up with something that everyone will agree to\n\nI’ll be honest. I HATE brainstorms. I don’t hate what they’re intended to do, but I hate the way they get executed. It’s like saying, “Hey, we have some shit we need to figure out, so lets all get together in a room for a while and talk about it without any real agenda.”\n

- Design studio is an activity that does just this and does it while combining these ideals we have for the design process.\n\nThe activity itself comes form industrial design and architecture schools (and even appears in some art schools) and is built around these things called charrettes,\n\nA charrette is really nothing more than an intense period of design work which, in these schools would be followed by a presentation and then a critique from the instructor, other classmates, and perhaps other instructors.\n
- For the purposes of our activity, a charrette breaks down into 3 pieces.\n\nSketching provides a way to quickly illustrate the concepts and components of a potential solution\nSketching allows us to quickly illustrate a concept and and explore how parts will fit together on a screen or in a flow.\n\nPresent is nothing more than putting our designs out for analysis. Participants put their sketches up in front of the group and describe quickly how they’re solution solves the problem at hand.\n\nCritique is a form of analysis that focuses on how a design does and does not meet a set of desired goals and principles.\nI’ll talk more about some specifics of critique in a few minutes. But it’s important to note how critical it is here. As it’s being relied upon to help determine the viability of ideas, not just against a problem we’re trying to solve for, but against other ideas.\n\n

But it’s important to note how critical it is here. As it’s being relied upon to help determine the viability of ideas, not just against a problem we’re trying to solve for, but against other ideas.\n\n
- For the purposes of our activity, a charrette breaks down into 3 pieces.\n\nSketching provides a way to quickly illustrate the concepts and components of a potential solution\nSketching allows us to quickly illustrate a concept and and explore how parts will fit together on a screen or in a flow.\n\nPresent is nothing more than putting our designs out for analysis. Participants put their sketches up in front of the group and describe quickly how they’re solution solves the problem at hand.\n\nCritique is a form of analysis that focuses on how a design does and does not meet a set of desired goals and principles.\nI’ll talk more about some specifics of critique in a few minutes.

- We need to know who our audience or users are. From our research we should be able to derive a set of personas that describe them, there behaviors and goals.\nWe need to place those users in a likely situation in which their going to engage with our product. We derive these SCENARIOS from our experience visioning such as journey maps.\nFor the purposes of a studio you won’t necessarily need ALL of the personas and scenarios. You want to define the highest priority. These are the usually the ones that make up the majority of your audience and the situations that make up the majority of ways in which the product will be used.\n\n

- We get this a lot. actually, we get it more often when we’re telling people about the workshop than we do when we’re introducing it to participants in the workshop.\n\nNo matter either way though, because it’s no big deal.\n
- If you can draw these 4 basic shapes, you’ve really got all you need.\n\nAlso show sketches from past studios\n
- \n
- \n
- Practice with warm up if necessary - Grandma Email\n\n\n
- 5-8 minutes for individuals to sketch as many solutions as possible. (aim for 3 or 4)\nGoal is quantity over quality\nThese aren’t detailed sketches, but more high-level concepts: why we use 8 ups\nIf the scenario is long, might focus on lead in, first few steps, or generalize middle steps.\n\nOnce finished, everyone (within a team) posts their sketches on the wall (butcher paper) and then we move to presenting and critique.\n2-3 minutes to present your solution and then 3-5 minutes of critique from teammates\n
- Facilitate the critique as little as possible, and remember to participate.\nAllow people to mark on sketches with red/green pens\n

- If any of you are interested in learning more about this activity, and experience it, and you’re attending UPA next month in Vegas, I’ll be giving a tutorial there. And if you’re not going to be there, well, for christ’s sake, change your plans and go.\n
