Five Design-Sheets: Creative Design and Sketching for Computing and Visualisation

This book describes a structured sketching methodology to help you create alternative design ideas and sketch them on paper. The Five Design-Sheet method acts as a checklist of tasks to help you think through the problem, create new ideas, and reflect upon the suitability of each idea. To complement the FdS method, we present practical sketching techniques, discuss problem solving, consider professional and ethical issues of designing interfaces, and work through many examples. Five Design Sheets: Creative Design and Sketching for Computing and Visualization is useful for designers of computer interfaces or researchers needing to explore alternative solutions in any field. It is written for anyone who is studying on a computing course and needs to design a computing interface or create a well-structured design chapter for their dissertation.
