In an essay I wrote, "only unaware practitioners use made-up #personas in their design work".

I think I know why this is done.

There is a difference between #characters and #archetypes. You can make up characters, as long as each character is based on a researched archetype.

People who make up personas are actually making up characters, but they make these characters without any grounding. There are usually no researched archetypes.

You can do better, and have fun:

#DesignResearch - đť‘·đť’‚đť’“đť’• 1

Welcome! ✨
I present: A quite interesting thread! đź‘€

So, we had this course called [ Metodologi Riset Desain ] and tbh it's such a unique concept for us who still have the mindset that the most important thing of design is 'only' the visual -- Image
--as we often forget the research behind a design.

✨"A research driven design has proven to significantly contributed to sharpen designers' assessment to identify design problems articulate users' need, as well as finding the best media and technology for design development."✨
[ Desainer + klien ➡️ untuk Audiens ]
👉 Dibutuhkan RISET!

Desain sebagai sebuah "solusi" tentu butuh riset mendalam guna mengidentifikasi & memecahkan permasalahan.

Metode menyesuaikan kebutuhan, jadi setelah desainer menemukan SATU masalah, dapat dihadirkan BANYAK solusi.

I'm fascinated by object-labelling memes knowyourmeme.com/memes/object-l… as a kind of hybrid metaphor / mental model illustration—a rapid, relatable way for people to create "diagrams" of how they imagine concepts relating to each other, via properties of objects as metaphors

A thread: Image
If we're categorising these somehow, one interesting subgenre is about *material properties* as metaphors: something is heavy, or weak, or spiky, or disintegrates easily (it's interesting how many are about mental health) ImageImageImage
Another common subgenre uses the idea of *one element occluding, stopping, or protecting another* as a metaphor ImageImageImageImage
