Dear Gunnar,
Right now I am curious about if (and how) formal methods are being
taught to designers.
I think the methods I mentioned are probably useless for most graphic
design problems, but some are useful for product design. But that is a
different discussion.
Besides, graphic designers tend more towards using examples than formal
methods. That is yet another discussion.
There is also the case of using a subset or an adaptation of some formal
method (which is most likely to occur in everyday practice), if you know
the method in the first place.
There are other formal methods, like brainstorming, for instance. And
though the majority of designers claim they use brainstorming, most tend
to misconstrue it as a simple process of generating ad-hoc ideas from
the top of one's head.
