Are there any unbreakble laws for interaction designers?
I do believe that if you learn to place yourself in the shoes of the user, you can design “for yourself” and really be designing for the user. I call this approach “Method Design” because the mind set is similar to that of Stanislavsky’s “method acting”. You’re really not designing for yourself at all. You’re designing for “your character”. Of course, to be a successful Method Designer, you need to know your character. That’s one reason designers should observe ethnographic studies and usability studies.
