Approaches to design

A design approach is a general philosophy that may or may not include a guide for specific methods. Some are to guide the overall goal of the design. Other approaches are to guide the tendencies of the designer. A combination of approaches may be used if they don't conflict.

Some popular approaches include:

KISS principle, (Keep it Simple Stupid), which strives to eliminate unnecessary complications.

There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), a philosophy to allow multiple methods of doing the same thing.

Use-centered design, which focuses on the goals and tasks associated with the use of the artifact, rather than focusing on the end user.

User-centered design, which focuses on the needs, wants, and limitations of the end user of the designed artifact.

Critical design uses designed artifacts as an embodied critique or commentary on existing values, morals, and practices in a culture.

Redefining the specifications of design solutions which can lead to better guidelines for traditional design activities (graphic, industrial, architectural, etc.);

Managing the process of exploring, defining, creating artifacts continually over time

Prototyping possible scenarios, or solutions that incrementally or significantly improve the inherited situation
