I address this a lot in Designing for Interaction 2 (mostly because it was a gross omission in the 1st edition). The steps are pretty simple, although hard to execute well: - Put research data on the walls (make it physical) - Manipulate the now-physical data and make them into Conceptual Models (personas are one kind of perceptual model) - Ideate based on the conceptual models, particularly around pain points and opportunities uncovered in research - Create design principles based on what is known from research, plus the best ideas from concepting Dan Dan Saffer Principal, Kicker Studio http://www.odannyboy.com @odannyboy on Twitter ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
