“…Designers and developers extensively use diagrams for these purposes as well as to prototype and share ideas [10]. Specifically focusing on sketches, Tversky et al noted that the designers' mind is expressed through such external representations, which also become a source of creativity [19]. Cherubini et al showed that diagram use is very important in co-located development [3].…”

“…Visual methods have long played an established role in the ideation phases of HCI design (e.g., Buxton, 2007;Gaver, 2011;Tversky et al, 2003). Coinciding with increased interest in technology-enabled visual research practices, however, theoretical discussions regarding the nature of affordances, materiality, and sociotechnical phenomena have challenged those working in the HCI domain to consider a range of perspectives on agency and the impact of technology (e.g., among others: Dourish, 2010;Latour, 1992;Yates & Orlikowski, 1992).…”

Visual approaches for conducting research during the design process often give voice to people and ideas that might otherwise remain obscured. Recent and increasing interest in visual research techniques has coincided with technological advances such as camera phones and visually oriented mobile applications. As a result of this close association between digital technologies and image-based research techniques, there are multiple opportunities and challenges within human-computer interaction (HCI) Jaime Snyder (js2829@cornell.edu, http://jaimesnyder.com) is an information scientist and artist with an interest in social and ethical aspects of visualization practices; she is a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the Information Science Department at Cornell University and in the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University.

“…These discoveries can be positive (results perfectly meeting requirements), negative (emergence of problems interfering with the goals being pursued) or innovative (perception of new directions for creative research). To allow for the advent of these unexpected elements, representations produced during the early stages of design should be abstract, ambiguous and imprecise (Tversky, 2003;Gross and Do, 1996). As long as these representations remain abstract, the specification of details can be left till later.…”

a b s t r a c tProfessional designers increasingly rely on IT-based systems in the course of their work. It is therefore crucial to know how such systems, especially computer-aided design (CAD) systems, influence both the design process and the final design, compared with the use of manual design methods. The objective of this paper is twofold: to address this issue and to suggest ways of improving IT-based systems specifically developed to support designers' activities. In the first phase of a two-phase study, we investigated how the use of different tools can affect the design process. In the second phase, we conducted two complementary analyses to determine how the use of different tools affects the assessment of final designs, as well as the effect of the judges' backgrounds on their assessments. We began by comparing the activities of two groups of designers: one group working with a CAD system, the other carrying out manual modelling. The results of this first phase revealed significant differences in the designers' activities (changing the viewpoint, switching tools, correcting errors) according to the design method they used. We then asked judges from four different backgrounds (professional designers, design teachers, retailers and users), to assess the final designs according to specific assessment criteria (aesthetics, originality, functionality, marketability). The results of this second phase revealed a significant preference for objects designed with a CAD system. Furthermore, the judges attributed different levels of importance to each of the assessment criteria, depending on their background. This last result underscored differences in the mental models constructed by different groups of audiences involved in product development and marketing. In addition, it allowed us to identify their specific expectations about final designs. Based on the results of our analyses, we suggest ways of improving IT-based systems with a view to integrating design assessment more fully into CAD environments.
