DUID FRAMEWORK
A step-by-step guide for the dynamic user interface design process
Issue
In the digital world, uniformity and rigid structures inhibit creativity and innovation. Conventional UX/UI practices often fail to accommodate evolving and diverse user needs, demanding approaches that address unique user requirements and provide flexibility to create dynamic and personalized user interfaces.
Idea
The DUID Framework follows a structured process consisting of five key steps: Inspire, Investigate, Identify, Imagine, and Input/Output. Each step is designed to spark creativity, guiding designers through an exploration of speculative futures to inspire solutions addressing contemporary digital challenges. Key features include:
Tangible Future Thinking ◡ Translating abstract visions of the future into tangible design outcomes that offer a more personalised user experience.
Data for Dynamic Design ◡ Integrating data from various sources enables the application of dynamic design attributes based on changing variables and the creation of a dynamic UI.
Out-of-the-Box User Experiences ◡ AI generated tiny sci-fis push the boundaries to infinity and beyond to encourage creatives to craft diverse and unique experiences.
Inquire
Our research process follows a flexible and exploratory path, allowing for experimentation and adaptation. Through workshops, technical troubleshooting, and iterative testing, we refine our approach. Despite its fluid nature, our process yields clear and simple outcomes beneficial to designers and ideators seeking alternative methodologies.
Impact
The DUID Framework has been featured in talks, podcasts and articles about design and guided 60+ designers to create better digital experiences at the LEGO Group, Happy Futures Lab and other workshops. The framework contributes to a shift in design thinking, offering a practical tool for envisioning and creating dynamic user interfaces that reflect the richness of human diversity. Embracing diverse needs and innovation, it has the potential to influence the digital landscape, fostering inclusivity and creativity in design processes.
