The Field Guide to Human-Centered Design

The HCD Toolkit is great for describing the whole process and looking at examples, this HCD Field Guide tells you how to do it - clearly and concisely. Fabulous tool for work projects or study projects. I like the "here's how you take action" approach. Easy to share with team members. Makes a big difference to be able to identify next, tangible steps.

Amazing resource for anyone in design, program/project development, or any kind of problem solving. Extremely approachable and incredibly useful!!! And I love that this guide has blank tools! Highly recommend!

I did forsaw a long wait and a secondhand book. This book came weeks earlier and looked as it were new.

Husband ordered this. Believe he was happy with it.

Human Centred Design is great. I am studying it at the moment, and can't stand reading digital documents. This is a great book, easy to reference, and handy to carry around if you are studying HCD or want to use some of the principles of it now and then. Very visual, great illustrations, good lay out of text.

Really cool design thinking techniques and examples. Surprisingly good paper, beautiful illustrations, colors.

Here's how you do design thinking. While created for the non-profit community, an indispensable book to apply the IDEO approach (unless you're actually an employee).

The book is amazing, the state of the book I received, was not what I would consider "in new condition" with an unknown smear on cover, and a giant, not-easily removable sticker on the center of the page.

Must read.

Sadly I didn't get any "new" processes or groundbreaking ideas from this book. Perhaps that's a bit cruel as IDEO were probably the originators of so much of what is now accepted as just "design research" and "design thinking". However, I've personally found other books on design research and project models/processes to be much more detailed and academically rigourous. This book may be geared more towards people in businesses without design backgrounds as it explains the steps in short/easy sections and sells the purpose of each one succinctly. For practicing designers though, it offers the same research, define, ideate, implement and test structure that we already know.

Am looking forward to working through this

Poor product quality. The printing is not even the original. It is a cheap quality version selling for such high cost. Not worth the purchase. highly overpriced for a freely downloadable version of IDEO HCD
