What is Design Thinking… the zine!?

Image to be read left to right, row by row.

Welcome! Please feel free to take a look at my very first AC4D creative deliverable…a zine that explores the topic, what is design thinking? In the first two weeks of our Theory class, we have been engaging with readings from authors that theorize human centered design, its capability to solve through co-creation, and its downfalls of unintended consequences and exclusivity.

My intended audience is anyone new to design thinking (hi!). I tried to capture the essence of some of the key theories we touched on in our initial reading, and best practices for inclusive design we learned about in modern readings. I wanted the reader to see the diversity in theory by seeing diversity in the ways the ideas were displayed (collage, word art, etc.) Let me know if you happen to think, “wow, design thinking looks like a field with a lot of diverse ways of communicating, and I want to learn more about it!” That’s what I was going for.
