Bringing the designer’s concept to the non-design expert’s communicative level requires a significant understanding of the communication media. Primarily the design communication depends on the type of the tools used. Virtual tools with their pre-set operability limit the designer’s ways of interaction with the artefacts. This article proposes a framework for designers to interact with non-design experts through an enhanced communicative media. The design framework indicates steps of design thinking to develop the interface by understanding both the virtual artefacts’ perceptual affordance to the users and the design task. The paper discusses about projects tested in three different scenarios, urban design, architecture, and product design. It concludes with the arguments on designers’ role as authors of the system design.

Hand painted of product design is not a pure creation of art painting. It is a technique method to organize and visual the product design which meets with consumer’s needs with guidance of design thinking and methods. It can rapid expresses design ideas, and examine design project and convey the true effect of the product design. As a designer the basic language of expression, hand painted run through the design process. It plays an important role to enhance the designer thinking. The using of hand painted in product design include enrich the accumulation of design, Inspire design, communication design, depiction of real emotion. It plays an important role to enhance the designer thinking.

Smart Product

Industrial design as profession has begun to expand its scope in business practices with the recent developments in design management, design thinking, and technology. However, curricula of industrial design studio remain traditional and mainly focuses on designing products. In fact, design management and design thinking go beyond product design and expand design’s scope to establishing business strategies, design innovation and service design by positioning humans and their needs at the center. Besides, the technological shift happened through Industry 4.0 enables to adapt IT hardware into systems, products and services, and make them smart and unified. To keep up with these paradigm changes and prepare our students to the rapidly changing business environment, we initiated a Smart Product Service System (Smart-PSS) design project with the 3rd-grade students of Bahçeşehir University in the 2019-2020 Spring semester during which online education had just become a part of our lives. In this article, we present three student projects as case studies of Smart-PSSs designed in three stages as system design, product design, and interface design. As a result, students gain a more holistic approach toward the design process, acknowledge the new expansions of industrial design, and its transformative role for businesses.

A model of two thinking paths is developed in this article. Early researchers of computer aided for product design focused their attention on sensation of consumers on product appearance to meet the consumer need. However, these generative rules of digital form did not consider the thinking process during design concept development. The experiment was designed to explore the concept transformation of two thinking patterns, and the shape generation in design thinking developing. The martini wine cup had been selected as a design target to collect the data. The model of two thinking paths was then developed based on results of the design thinking experiment. An experimental system, called thinking pattern-based generation system, a.l.a. ThinkGen, was then implemented to test the model.

The Way

How can a supreme audit institution (SAI) use design thinking in auditing? SAIs audit the way taxpayers’ money is collected and spent. Adding design thinking to their activities is not to be taken lightly. SAIs independently check whether public organizations have done the right things in the right way, but the organizations might not be willing to act upon a SAI’s recommendations. Can you imagine the role of design in audits? In this paper we share our experiences of some design approaches in the work of one SAI: the Netherlands Court of Audit (NCA). Design thinking needs to be adapted (Dorst, 2015a) before it can be used by SAIs such as the NCA in order to reflect their independent, autonomous status. To dive deeper into design thinking, Buchanan’s design framework (2015) and different ways of reasoning (Dorst, 2015b) are used to explore how design thinking can be adapted for audits.
