What’s good?How do I know what I think until I see what I say?


What’s missing - a process

1. Sketch and tell the story of the optimal designed experience.

1. Use the concepts of transitions and encounters to interrogate

the designed experience and identify opportunity for refinement.

2. Transitions and encounters should also reveal the possible

divergent paths from the optimal designed experience. Describe

the supported boundaries around this ideal designed

experience to create an envelope into which each of these

should fit.
