Melina had these when we started our design project, and they definitely were useful.

Ideo is this great design firm that we’ve always had to learn about in our design classes, but never thought we could get close to. Cue Ideo cards! They are cards with lots of different research and design methods, in which there should hopefully be a solution for any design or testing occasion. It’s great to have something physical and visual to organize your thoughts and plan your approach.

Bought through here.

Ideo’s site is pretty interesting too. I’m browsing it right now! Not sure I love the design, because I cant quite decide where to focus first. But, they’re infamous and have developed some really great strategies for design and research, so I’ll give them credit and the benefit of the doubt ;) .

Here’s hoping them arrive soon! (Oh the joys of living in Canada)
