Watching Jonathan Arnowitz’s Interaction 08 presentation today. His topic was on effective prototyping methods. He said something interesting about who’s job it is to come up with ideas. Basically he said, and I agree, that the designer’s job isn’t to come up with ideas, it’s our job to facilitate the ideas of everyone involved and then assimilate them into a final design. Or as he puts it, you have to make sure there is a designer is in the driver’s seat, but the ideas should come from everyone.
