Robert Curedale's handbook lays out two hundred design-thinking methods, one per page, each with templates and guidance on when and how to use it, drawn from his international workshops and teaching. It functions as a working toolkit for the SDF's Procedures component, covering methods used across product, UX, graphic and other design fields.
Two hundred design-thinking methods, each on a single how-to page with templates and guidance on when to use it. A pure toolkit for the SDF's Procedures component — the discipline's accumulated methods, catalogued for reuse.
Each of the two hundred methods is set out on a single page, with step-by-step instructions, templates, a description of the method, and guidance on when, where and why to use it, along with the resources it needs. The methods are drawn from Robert Curedale's international design-thinking workshops and decades of experience leading design for major brands and consultancies and teaching at design schools across Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States. Together with its companion Design Methods 2, it forms one of the largest published collections of design methods, used across product, interior, exhibition, graphic, UX, web, packaging and automotive design, branding, design education and design research.
