Suunnittelulähteet

Suunnittelulähteet, or design sources, refer to the various materials and resources used by designers to create new products, services, or systems. These sources can be categorized into several types, each serving a unique purpose in the design process. Primary sources are original materials created by the designer or the organization, such as sketches, prototypes, and initial concepts. Secondary sources, on the other hand, are existing materials that have been created by others, including industry standards, regulations, and best practices. Tertiary sources are compiled materials that summarize or analyze primary and secondary sources, such as design guidelines, manuals, and case studies. Additionally, there are contextual sources, which provide background information about the design problem or the target audience, including market research, user studies, and environmental analysis. By utilizing a combination of these sources, designers can generate innovative and effective solutions that meet the needs of their users and stakeholders.
