“Design’s fundamental role is problem solver.”

Design Thinking: How Designers Solve Problems

According to Emilie Johnston from CloudApp, Designers have a unique way of seeing the world and that perspective can add some major value to the business. But a traditional task-oriented design mindset won't get you there. Here are some of the ways great designers innovate their way to the top.

Make problem-solving the priority

The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun. Really fun. The problem with it being fun, is that you could literally spend hours obsessing over fonts, and never solve a single problem for your users.
Great designers relish the details, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. They know that while tools and tricks may come and go, the big picture is always the same: Solving a problem for your user.
Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which platform you use, or color palette you choose, it's all about how those design elements make life better in the real world. Or to put it in the words of UX guru and author of Don't Make Me Think, Steve Krug, “usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not about technology.”

Designers are the people who are either gifted or skilled when it comes to design. But I never said that it was an easy feat, but it isn’t. Thinking of an idea for their design is a necessity in the grind and it’s quite a struggle, believe it or not. Research and seeking for inspiration plays a major role in this process. Other problems and thoughts in mind can also be an obstacle for a good idea. That is why to have good design, the mind also be clear and when idea comes in, that’s the time it will be born to reality. So if you think that’s too much of a hassle or if you just can’t take that? We, designers, are the best at that.

“Graphics is the visual means of resolving logical problems.”

According to Justin Baker from Muzli, you can use design to solve problems. Below are his implementations: Start with defining the problem — What are you looking to solve? Is this problem worth solving? Will solving this problem positively impact the user experience and business outcomes? Define the metrics and expected outcomes — What metrics are you looking to move? Why these particular metrics? What outcomes do you expect? How long will you need to measure? How will you measure? Define the constraints — What resources do you have at your disposal? What is your timeline? What is the project scope? Identify the appropriate design mechanics — Not every design project requires the full suite of design tools. You should adapt your design process to most efficiently drive positive outcomes for your organization. Design, Test, Iterate — This would be your normal design process. Measure the Outcomes — Has...
