Dan Saffer, a favorite of mine, has listed some interesting techniques that he has learned about through his conversations and observations with other designers/researchers. I think this is great as it really allows us designers to become more flexible with the various problems we face each time. Check out the list and think about how these could have been helpful with projects you’ve completed in the past.
IxD Techniques [Dan Saffer]
*Update*
I just jumped on the IxDA News Group and discovered that there is an even more exhaustive list (mostly geared towards mobile design) online that includes techniques like digital diaries.
Yeah I’ve been watching that IxDA list for a couple months now. There’s a ton of good info on there. I wish I’d known about it when we were in school because it gives a lot of real world perspective to the academic stuff we studied at UW.
