ISBN: 9780062125699
Pages: 256
Recommendation
Design expert Jan Chipchase travels the world and lives among different kinds of people to acquire a rich understanding of what makes them tick. His journey takes you through streets, cafés, barbershops and bus terminals from Kyoto to Kabul and from Shanghai to San Francisco to observe inhabitants’ everyday behaviors. He explains that this research is crucial to the creative process of designing products and services that people will use today, and that it is the only way to anticipate what they’ll need tomorrow. While Chipchase’s philosophy, stories and anecdotes are informative and amusing, and will add greatly to the layperson’s understanding, those seeking a field research model to emulate still will need to refer to the professional literature. getAbstract believes general readers, product designers and strategists will appreciate Chipchase’s conversational writing style and his insightful trip around the world.
