Designethnografie. Methodologie und Praxisbeispiele | Francis Müller
CHF 41.50
Das Lehrbuch entwickelt Methoden für die Designrecherche, denn Designen erfordert und erzeugt zugleich Wissen, was in der Praxis oftmals intuitiv passiert. Wird die Erzeugung dieses Wissens jedoch methodisch geleitet und reflektiert, dann stärkt dies die Designdisziplin und begünstigt ihre interdisziplinäre Vernetzung. Die Ethnografie ist hierzu eine geeignete Methode: Designethnografie bedeutet, dass eine Designerin in eine soziale Lebenswelt eintaucht, dort bestimmte Wirklichkeitsausschnitte beobachtet, analysiert und sie verändert – zum Beispiel mit Intervention und partizipativen Ansätzen. Werden solche Verfahren dokumentiert und theoretisch reflektiert, dann werden designspezifische Erkenntnismodi sichtbar.

Games and Rules | Beat Suter, Mela Kocher, René Bauer (eds.) [E-Book PDF]
Game Mechanics for the «Magic Circle»
Why do we play games and why do we play them on computers? The contributors of «Games and Rules» take a closer look at the core of each game and the motivational system that is the game mechanics. Games are control circuits that organize the game world with their (joint) players and establish motivations in a dedicated space, a «Magic Circle», whereas game mechanics are constructs of rules designed for interactions that provide gameplay. Those rules form the base for all the excitement and frustration we experience in games. This anthology contains individual essays by experts and authors with backgrounds in Game Design and Game Studies, who lead the discourse to get to the bottom of game mechanics in video games and the real world – among them Miguel Sicart and Carlo Fabricatore.

Design Struggles critically assesses the ways in which the design field is involved in creating, perpetuating, promoting and reinforcing injustice and inequality in social, political, economic, cultural and ecological systems. This book shows how this entanglement arose from Eurocentric and neoliberal thinking. The voices and practices represented here propose to question and disrupt the discipline of design from within, by problematizing the very notions of design. They aim to do so by generating new, anti-racist, post-capitalist, queer-feminist, environmentally conscious and community-based ideas on how to transform design. In this way, Design Strugglesstrives to forge sustainable, new practices within the design field that challenge the status quo and amplify underrepresented voices, both in the world of design, as well as beyond.

Ernst Keller (1891-1968). Teacher and pioneer of the Swiss Style
In various different places, particularly in the USA, when writing the history of graphic design, Ernst Keller is referred to as the father of Swiss Style, later International Typographic Style. This is down to the large number of Keller students, who later shaped this Swiss Style and made it famous. Keller’s achievement is shown purely using his oeuvre, primarily his poster designs and his work on lettering and graphic design in architecture.
Ernst Keller’s contribution to the development of innovative, non-academic didactic principles in design training plays a fundamental role. His teaching activity starting in 1918 can be defined as one of the first systematic training programmes for graphic design in the world.
