The Design Stack

Abstract

After a highly theoretical chapter, let's jump right into some practical discussion. Chapters 8 and 9 will explore the early-stage design process from two different angles with the end goal of providing a unified, practical approach to incorporating many of the theories and practices we've discussed so far in this book. In Chapter 9, we'll take a look at several underused and new concepts that I feel we can weave into our design process. However, in this chapter, I'd like to explore the practices—and their resulting artifacts—that are, first, well set up to incorporate these findings with almost no disruption and, second, already part of myriad established design processes.
