The Word Game: a Social Design research tool to visually communicate values, beliefs, and intrinsic motivation

Toledo, Guilherme ; Pacheco, Heliana Soneghet ;

Full Article:

This paper describes a simple analytical technique, referred to as the Word Game (WG), used in the practice of Social Design, a user-centred, intrinsic-motivation-oriented co-design methodology developed in Brazil in the early 1980s.This technique allows for the construction of new symbolic meanings for both users and designers involved in the process, and aims at a better understanding of project parameters. It allows for concepts to be explored and developed further within a visual organisation, so that designers can identify their interlocutor’s intrinsic motivations. These can then be used as a starting point to define the main objective, and allow a meaningful design solution to be constructed.The aim is to describe the technique and how it has been used by graduation students as a research tool, and to discuss its possibilities within a Social Design context.
