Re-evaluating graphic design’s influence on Design Thinking commdesignacademic.org/2024/07/06/re-… #DesignThinking #DesignResearch #GraphicDesign #CommunicationDesign
New article in Design Issues, with @RGHarland. Design Thinking: Standing on the Shoulders of… Graphic Design! direct.mit.edu/desi/article/4… #DesignResearch #AI | @Sydney_ADP_Res | @Sydney_ADP
What can an old advert reveal about the future of design & communication? commdesignacademic.org/2024/02/22/usi… #designresearch #DigitalRevolution
My latest article, ‘What a funny looking video' uses a 1980s ad as a metaphor to explore the digital revolution, highlighting design challenges then, now & the future. Of interest for researchers reflecting on future digital comms & design challenges. doi.org/10.1177/016344…
Challenges of using AI tools for creating design education materials | thoughts and musings… commdesignacademic.org/2023/11/24/ai-… #DesignThinking #DesignResearch
Our new article ‘Artificial intelligence in design education: evaluating ChatGPT as a virtual colleague for post-graduate course development’ has just been published in Design Science journal. #DesignResearch #AI | @Sydney_ADP_Res | @Sydney_ADP doi.org/10.1017/dsj.20…
Design by committee versus co-design. The changing narratives & practices of design in the 21st century have moved the goalposts with regard to designer—stakeholder participation. #designthinking #designresearch #codesign commdesignacademic.org/2023/10/29/des…

I wonder to what degree the words desktop publishing from this 1991 article could be substituted by the term artificial intelligence? #AI #DTP #DisruptiveTechnology #DigitalDisruption #design
Digital threat or design opportunity? Embracing the creative challenges of disruptive technologies commdesignacademic.org/2023/05/20/dig…
I was asked a few questions about the future of design and AI in relation to the digital revolution, which were discussed as part of this article. editorx.com/shaping-design… #AI #DesignResearch #DigitalDisruption
Design interviews should emphasise storytelling, including the use of semi-structured narratives & shared experiences. The methods can offer valuable insights, enriching the broader research process | #DesignResearch #QualitativeMethods commdesignacademic.org/2023/04/29/des…
In 2019 I wrote an article on challenges to notions of photographic authenticity dx.doi.org/10.1163/236445… | With AI & automation, a lot has happened to photography in that time. But it seems the debate has barely moved on | theguardian.com/artanddesign/2… | #AIanddesign #designautomation
I bookmarked this by @matejlatin in @uxdesigncc a little while ago – a good read. In two minds about 'design generalists'. I'm big into interdisciplinarity – we are a fast moving industry in fast times – but how does that impact expertise? #designresearch uxdesign.cc/why-designers-…

Is this how designers can respond to homelessness? No, it's idiotic nonsense! Not everything is a design issue. Build more affordable homes, reclaim empty property from wealthy landowners and…, well, it's not rocket science. #socialdesign theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…
