design methods for everyone

Core77: "What follows may seem elementary. It is - but it is more difficult than it looks. To carry it out requires some modesty and a willingness to learn, to change, and to share your thinking with others. Though the text is addressed to an individual most of the methods are intended for collaboration."

This is actually a surprisingly helpful article. It's a good way to look at how to come up with ideas, and test your good ideas. I'm surprised more people didn't comment on this, it actually seems really useful.

I think a big part of the wolf's colon has been eliminating these questions, or at least keeping us from getting hung up on them. "where do I start?"
Well...you start now. And you have till tomorrow. Go.

These questions seem a bit ambiguous but overall informative. I would like to believe one would ask themselves these questions every time they are in the brainstorming process. I always find it amusing seeing which of these questions were not addressed after watching a performance

I think the most important and useful thing that can be derived from this article is that the questions are intended for collaboration. Designers often work in very different ways and this can lead to difficulties when the time comes to combine creative processes. It is useful to have a set of questions that can help everyone working on a project come together.
