Good simple introduction to the world of design as a discipline to solving problems and helping people
Great introduction and very affirming to hear concise language around concepts that I have been fumbling through in my own work, unknowingly. I'm so relieved to now know that there are frameworks I can apply to my research and practice through a new lens of understanding. I can't wait to explore these approaches in more depth!
I loved Jon Kolko's perspective and vision. He made the complex process of design so easy to understand and relate to!
The audio halfway has a lot of background noise - maybe you can filter it out with a VST audio plugin? and re-upload the videos for other users? Besides that, great summary - and much appreciated. Will definitely dive deeper into your topics. Thanks again! :)
This is a course with knowledgable information. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the bad quality of the audio on same lesson and poor video quality in general.

Some of the links did not work. The sound in the first part of the last section was problematic. The philosophy and approach shared was helpful. I would have liked more resources - i.e., recommended books or sites, good designers to follow, etc.
