he is reading..

currently keyur is reading a book name designing for interaction by dan saffer. he is reading this book for second time, but this time a bit more mature interaction designer is reading which leads to better understanding of several terms. in this book, dan has mentioned a term genius design, which is one of the methodology of designing interactive objects, spaces and services. he says, this methodology is for experienced designers who are working in this domain for several years, where designers do not go to users, but their own experience and expertise helps them to design. but this methodology is practised more by young designers, which perhaps is not a good idea.

one more thing he mentions is, if designer is one of the user then perhaps it is a good idea, but then designer may restrict himself by designing keeping himself only in mind.

what you guys say?
