How to Make Good Design Decisions

When it comes to design, working a piece itself is not the complete process. There are lots of planning, researching and a little bit more planning. And it's always good to know what other people say about that process. Dan Saffer found a good way to go.

About a year and a half ago, when I first started thinking about the material that would eventually become UX Intensive: Interaction Design, I wondered what it was that helped designers make those leaps of faith, the great guesses, that we have to make on projects. So I came up with this talk, How to Make Good Design Decisions. -Dan Saffer

Hello, everyone! I'm Paulo, a 23 years old designer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. I work as a webdesigner since 2006, but websites and blogs have been a hobbie for me since 1999. At Abduzeedo, I try to bring only the hot stuff for you guys... and hope that all of you enjoy my posts! Cheers!

This would be a great presentation to review - if it was possible to read it. It hurts my eyes to look at the font that small so fuck it.

Great read. I successfully attempted explaining my design process to the portfolio review panel before graduating. I used the word intuition instead of hunch and I could tell they knew exactly what I was talking about.
