Design thinking and its 5 stages
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a prototype is worth a thousand meetings.
What is Design Thinking?
Design thinking is an element of a design methodology that is concerned with adopting creative solutions to solve complex real-life problems. The approach is more human-centric and allows designers to analyze, develop, create, and improve on ideas as they walk through various stages of the design process. It is concerned with the emotions of people and how certain actions will result in specific directions.
Automation may have made run-of-the-mill work easier and less redundant but what differentiates an automated approach from a creative approach is the lack of human element. You may crunch as many numbers and data in the system, but the results will always be around the same data. However, seeing the current market trends, brands do need to look for an out-of-the-box solution. Enter the design thinking which incorporates a cognitive, strategic, and practical process used to develop design concepts.
