“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 the design solution positively impacted the metrics? Were your outcomes as expected? What was unexpected? Have you measured for long enough to know?
Accelerate Outcomes — What can you do accelerate the outcomes? This is where you can decide to iterate on the design itself or maybe reassess the problem statement, outcomes, and constraints.

E-Blog 02: "Ang Probinsyano" vs PNP

We recently discussed the dispute between “Ang Probinsyano” and the Philippine National Police. We had to pick out our partners and we had to choose which side we’re on. Well, before picking any side, my partner and I had to first watch the video regarding the said dispute because we have no idea what is happening between them. That may be because we don’t watch the TV series, or the news nor do we care about such matters, frankly speaking. After knowing about it, that’s the only time we were able to pick sides. Individually, we gathered 3 important pieces of evidence that would support our claim. Later on, we discussed it with our partners then compiled our works into a single Powerpoint presentation. Afterwards, the class was divided into two: those which sided with “Ang Probinsyano” and those with the PNP. We had to write in the board all the things that made our claim right and as well, writing those which would make the opposing side wrong. After such, our teacher, being on ...

“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 yo...
