Design With Intent - Toolkit for influencing behaviour through design
(via @vanderbeeken )
British Industrial Designer & Engineer Dan Lockton has recently finished designing a toolkit to help designers seeking to influence and modify positively users' behaviour through design. Italy based design blog Putting People First, gives access to the finished toolkit which takes form of a set of 101 cards grouped in eight categories according to different lenses or fields of research that provide different perspectives on behaviour change.
These lenses are: Arquitecture Errorproofing, Interaction, Ludic, Perceptual, Cognitive (above), Machiavellian and Security.
The intention is that the cards are useful at the idea generation stage of the design process, helping designers, clients and – perhaps most importantly – potential users themselves explore behaviour change concepts from a number of disciplines, and think about how they might relate to the problem at hand. Judging by the impact of earlier iterations, the cards could also be useful in stakeholder workshops, and design / technology / computer science education.
You can download the entire set here.
