This project has led me to see bad design everywhere. It makes me wonder who was in charge of the final decision. Is it bad design or the wrong person making the design decisions?
1. Nature’s Miracle Skunk Odor Remover: Lists in the direction to “Avoid eyes, nose and mouth and ear areas.” Have these people ever had a pet sprayed by a skunk? That’s the only place they are sprayed. Geez.
2. Worse classroom design ever. The clock is behind the instructor facing the students. I don’t know which is worse, the instructor continually looking over their shoulder to see when the class will end, or the room full of students staring over his shoulder focused on the clock waiting for the class to be over.
Who thought this was the best place to place a clock in a classroom?
Bad design is so prevalent in society. Here is an example of bad design that I encountered today: On the back of a garbage truck there was a sticker with dimensions of about 5″x6″ that read “warning, stay back 200 feet we are not responsible for damaged windshields. I would like to know who can read size 16 font from 200 feet away while driving down the highway!
Principles of Design Thinking

1.Design Thinking is mining and extracting the essence of all key Design disciplines.
2. It uses its inherent process of thinking and solving as a conscious tool to teach how to innovate.
3. Induces and elicits cross-pollination of creativities from different disciplines with different objectives.
4. Interprets and displays data, information and knowledge generated through Integrative Thinking.
5. Designs platforms that allow for the creation of contextual clarity between left and right-brain thinking. The results generate communal sense making.
6. It calibrates the level of understanding between participants from similar or opposing disciplines.
7. It manages the creative capital of ALL disciplines under one governing intelligence.
