To find the right place to apply leverage, designers need to embrace systems thinking.”<br/><br/>“Designers do not, I think, have a coherent sense of what systems thinking is (I have heard it used to refer to design systems more than once and I am sorry to say, that is not it). A good start on systems thinking is Indi Young’s piece on thinking critically”<br/><br/>— <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1yydgg4z4wqe3tycsy95ppvx26wt389hjp5s0q6xzav5594q4weyspqd3ge" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Pavel A.

In the early stages, the artist may wish to preserve many visual options, restricting [..] imagery to global structures, or using notes and signs that implicate multiple alternatives.
