I like to add a one more.

21. It will not be the first of its kind in the Market, but it will likely jump ahead of the competition and become a market leader."

Design Thinking 101 at the Stanford d.school

Ever wondered what design thinking is all about? The Stanford d.school has shared, with the world, the basics of design thinking as taught in their introductory class called the "design thinking bootcamp".

This "bootcamp bootleg" is a nice little pdf file that contains a bunch of great methodologies for observation, data collection, brainstorming, prototyping, and concept generation.

After reading this, I'm further convinced that design thinking is just about shaping the design process in a way that non-designers are able to understand and apply it in their problem solving activities.

Awesome artwork made by a generation of artists raised on the computer and the internet. The simple 2D GIF animation makes the work so much more powerful compared to full 3D animated sequences.
