Description

"Less (Bad) Design: A Toolkit for Uncovering the Unintended Consequences of Design Solutions"

Matthew Manos is an Assistant Professor of Design at the University of Southern California, CA, USA, and the Associate Director of Special Projects at the Iovine and Young Academy. 

"The Less (Bad) Design toolkit is a framework introduced to students in design-driven innovation classes that call for the development of new products or services intended for a diverse array of stakeholder groups. The framework includes “12 Principles For Bad Design”, a series of prompting questions that challenge students to uncover the unintended consequences that may be residing behind their concepts. This framework has been used across numerous courses in the USC Iovine and Young Academy, inspiring students to dig deeper into the ethical considerations behind their designs, all within about 30 minutes. In addition to academia, as the method is now available in an open-access manner, the framework has been used by nearly 1,000 practitioners across the globe to better evaluate their design work. In this innovation showcase, we examine the toolkit and its use cases within design classes."
