@ Siewhua 's

I’ve read “Chapter 1 of Thoughtful Interaction Design by Jonas Löwgren and Erik Stolterman” before during my user experience in design class but reading it again still gave me fresh and new perspectives to think about. The reading mainly talks about what makes a good design, design theory and some core concepts: interaction design, design process, design situation, and digital artifact.

Reading: Thoughtful Interaction Design by Jonas Lowgren & Erik Stolterman

In the reading, Lowgren and Stolterman mentioned ‘An extremely fast and efficient digital artifact is hardly good design if it is not understood by its users. Outstanding user interface intelligibility is pointless if the basic functions of the artifact fail to satisfy the users’ needs. An intelligent and adaptive artifact with Read more →

Thoughtful Interaction Design by  Jonas Löwgren and Erik Stolterman

The introduction of Jonas Löwgren and Erik Stolterman’s book, Thoughtful Interaction Design, gave a comprehensive overview of what constitutes a “good designer” and concepts which one should hold while producing an artwork. Although the term “good designer” or “good design” is very subjective, we can view a designed digital artefact as a consequence of Read more →

@ Joan

This reading discusses about what constitutes a good design and the thought processes that should go through every designer’s head. While there are many different definitions of what a good design is and what design theory means, this chapter gives readers a general idea of core design concepts, and the scope of what should be considered when embarking on a Read more →

@ 「 xinfeng 」

As designers, it is important for us to understand what our role and responsibility is about. Regardless of our disciplines, it is important to know the difference between being a designer and an artist. A designer is often given a brief and a problem to solve using design solutions, with each of these challenges targeted at a certain group of Read more →

@ Basics

I found the Thoughtful Interaction Design really enriching and there were many useful ideas which I could learn from. Although Lowgren was specifically mentioning about the topic revolving “Designing digital artifact”, like he mentioned:

“Interaction design refers to the process that is arranged within existing resource constrains to create, shape, and decide all use-oriented qualities (structural, functional, ethical, and aesthetic) of Read more →

@ CherSee

The reading was educational and contain many concepts that were quite foreign to me but after multiple attempts to dissect the meaning behind those words, I have got a better understanding and insights to the world of design.

I was asked to provide an artwork that reflects my understanding of the reading. However, I would like to share a product instead Read more →

@ Hwee's

In this reading, Löwgren discussed about what is good and bad design, if a fast and efficient digital artifact is not a good design if its not intuitive or easily understand by the users. Also if it did not meet the basic function of user’s need are also impractical.

Working with design means that you continuously need to define and redefine Read more →

@ Grandma Joe

The reading, Thoughtful Interaction Design by Jonas Löwgren and Erik Stolterman, at first, felt very obtuse and dense. Putting everything in abstract with highly academic analytical approach it was a more intense articulated approach to something I was more used to handling from a more intuitive and ‘gut-feeling’ perspective; not that I don’t enjoy the philosophical and academic aspects. This Read more →

@ BAO

In this response, I will be addressing one main point I learnt from reading as well as an example to support the main point.

The sentence ‘The client has the overall responsibility for the outcome, but a designer is still responsible for the result she produces and hands over to the client.’ from chapter one, page ten addressed the main issue Read more →
