Design is about making choices. Every product we make has a history of choices that were made to move the product to reality. The way in which we make these choices is very important to the success of our final product. We don’t explore enough of the options that ultimately make up these choices, and this is where we primarily limit ourselves in the process of design.
….
There are two things we need in order to make design decisions. First, we need something to evaluate. We need to create something that represents an idea or some part of our product so that we may be able to evaluate its effectiveness in solving our design problem. Some people may refer to these representations as prototypes. Yet, prototypes are typically higher-fidelity product representations that behave in a way that is similar to the final product. Prototypes can be resource intensive and take a long time to build, so it is usually impractical to create 5-10 prototypes for evaluation purposes. This is where sketching becomes a valuable tool in the designer’s arsenal.
…
But, an easier way to represent the experience would be to have two participants writing with dry erase markers and standing on either side of a large pane of glass. The two participants can see each other, see what each person is writing, and can communicate and collaborate together. By definition, this is a sketch. It is quickly and easily created

Una herramienta social para el pequeño transporte urbano (Via @ecosistema)
bring buddy is a social web of people who carry parcels and letters for other people in their area. The system behind bring. BUDDY analyzes the daily routes of its members and anonymously assigns parcels to people who can take them along. The parcels therefore find their ‘natural‘ ways through the city or to the next logistic hub, where they can be picked up by professional carriers.
..developed by students at the School of Design Thinking in Potsdam, in cooperation with the DHL Innovation Center. The challenge of the project is to enable transport and logistics of goods in future urban areas, where energy is expensive, CO2 emissions per capita are limited and access by car is restricted, while the need of transporting goods still rises (because of more individualized products, internet shopping etc.).

bring.BUDDIES identify themselves via mobile phones when they pick up or drop a packet. If they want to participate they just turn on a bring.BUDDY-App on their cell phone. The altruistic idea behind bring.BUDDY is to enable people to help other people. But by carrying parcels bring.BUDDIES can also foster financial efficiencies: They collect points which then can be redeemed for other bring.BUDDY services, public transport tickets or products at bring.BUDDY partner stores. In order to make it more fun, bring.BUDDIES can start parcel carrying competitions on the platform and compete against other bring.BUDDIES.

CUP’s series of foldout posters that use graphic design to explore and explain public policy. Making Policy Public is published four times a year. Each poster is the product of a commissioned collaboration between a designer and an advocate. (via CUP - Making Policy Public - Making Policy Public)
