Today is National Origami Day, a celebration of Lillian Oppenheimer, who helped popularize origami in the U.S. "Origami," derived from the Japanese words for "folding paper," is an art form that goes far beyond its traditional material. Rooted in precision, delicacy, and creativity, origami transforms simple materials into intricate, self-supporting designs. This folding technique has inspired designers and engineers to explore its potential in a variety of materials, including metal, polymers, and textiles. Origami's principles have sparked innovations such as foldable products, compact structures, and unique designs. What could you create by thinking beyond the fold? #MidJourneyMonday #NationalOrigamiDay #DesignInspiration

Research designs with your audience to collect genuine reactions and feedback before launch.

Halloween is scary but talking to users doesn't have to be! ?? Don't overlook following the user journey and collecting real feedback early in the product development process. All users have a unique perspective that can be understood to design better products.
Forgetting the user journey during the design process is terrifying ?? Horror villains like Freddy, Jason, and Pennywise have complex challenges, but what do they look for in an ideal solution? This Halloween-themed #MidjourneyMonday ?? uses AI to imagine iconic horror movie characters and their shopping journeys. It's a fun reminder to talk with users and stakeholders, no matter how scary they are! Good design requires holistically understanding users–not just your first impression of them. So do your research and don’t lose sight of the impact your designs will have. Turn their user needs into your design opportunities. ?? And tell us, where other Halloween icons would shop in the comments! #Halloween #UserJourney #DesignResearch

Every month, we release a new design dictionary term to help clients and designers stay informed about the design process and terminology. ?? Follow us and Michael Prince to never miss an update!
What does “Hierarchy” mean in design? ???? Hierarchy isn’t just about ranking people or things. ??? For designers, it’s about arranging elements to guide user attention and actions. UI interfaces, packaging designs, and marketing content all use hierarchies to inform users exactly what to focus on first and how to navigate products. Designers turn clutter into clarity using hierarchy to create majestic user experiences ?? #designdictionary #productdesign #designterrns

For everyone feeling the sniffles this Monday ?? we hope this hashtag #MidjourneyMonday inspires you and helps you feel better ?
Are you feeling under the weather? Sometimes seasonal sicknesses can spark creativity! ???? While reaching for a tissue, I wondered: Why do tissue boxes look the same? How can tissue box packaging be more memorable? At Beyond Design, Inc., we believe even the simplest products can be reimagined to rouse joy and conversation. ? A tissue box doesn’t have to be merely a rectangular container. ? A tissue box can be playful, spooky, scholarly, even smart! AI, like Midjourney, is a creative tool to visualize and communicate new design possibilities in unexpected ways. The potential is limitless when you think outside the box??even when the box is a tissue box! #DesignInspiration #ProductDesign #CreativityUnboxed #MidJourneyMonday
