Eccledesigniates is my attempt to revive the ancient wisdom of Designah, the Original Designer.
Chapters: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4
Chapter 1
1
Designah, King in Jeusabilitem, says so: “Useless! Useless! Utterly useless! Everything is useless.”
2
What do designers gain from all their labors at which they toil around users? Problems come and go, but users remain.
4
The problem blows to the stakeholder and turns to the designer; round and round it goes, ever returning on its due.
5
All designs turn into the experience, yet the experience is never full. To the place the empathy comes from, there it reprises again.
6
All experiences are wearisome, more than user can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.
7
What has been will be again, what has been designed will be designed again; there is nothing new under the hood.
8
Is there any design one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was designed already, long ago, before our time.
9
No one remembers the outdated designs, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
10
I, Designah, is king over Userael in Jeusabilitem. I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is designed under the heavens.
11
I have seen all the things that are designed for the users; all of them are useless, a chasing after the clients.
12
What is experienced cannot be designed; what is lacking cannot be counted.
13
I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has designed in Jeusabilitem before.”
14
Then I applied myself to the understanding of design, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the user.
15
For with much design comes much experience; the more empathy, the more use.
Chapter 2
More to come…
