The Design Process: From hindsight to insight

The design process is actually quite structured and rigid, which may sound of counter intuitive since design is mainly a creative and artistic exercise. Below, you see roughly how the process normally and ideally takes place. That said, there are often ways to shorten the time and scope compared to what is illustrated below. 

Beginning phase (1-3 weeks):

1.0 Research
1.1 Design brief, defining product
