TED talk by Tim Brown of IDEO, worth watching for inspiration on larger design projects.

Design is too important to be left to designers.

Tim Brown of IDEO suggests a different view of design- less on objects and more on design thinking. He calls for a shift to local, collaborative, participatory “design thinking.” Integrative thinking- ability to exploit opposing ideas and opposing contraints to create new solutions. Application of design thinking to tackle new kinds of problems. Design is human centered as it always starts with what humans need.
