Abstract
“Analysing the Double diamond design process through research & implementation” aims to clarify and discuss the Double diamond design process, its origin, use and usefulness in design today. The thesis also intends to discuss the position, skill-set and responsibilities designers are faced with when working for a start-up in comparison to a larger company. The Double diamond design process itself is viewed through the lens of a case study project with a small company/start-up called Eye Caramba Oy. As the Double diamond model originated through the study of design practices in large established companies on a strategic level it was seen ft to balance that with its use on a small project and on a highly practical level. As the Design council (the creators of the Double diamond design process) urge users to alter or modify the process to suit their projects there are a vast amount of process model variations available. For the case study an original process model was made based on a project example. This detailed model added a layer to the discussion regarding proper use and modification of the Double diamond design process. As discussions and subsequent conclusions were the result of comparing a small project with a vast pool of research, they should not be viewed as conclusive but rather as important discussions for young designers entering an ever-changing market.Description
