The purpose of this paper is to investigate and discuss the practice of involving children in design processes, focusing on what the benefits are and which practical problems that can occur. By discussing previous research and conducting three interviews with people experienced in the field of designing together with children this paper aims to answer the question: When children participate in design processes what are the benefits, risks, and challenges? The paper concludes that many of the problems that can appear when designing with children are related to power dynamics between children and adults or to the age of the children. These two themes are the focus of the essays result and in addition to presenting the challenges connected to the themes, the paper will also discuss how these problems can be prevented and solved. The conclusion of the paper is that it is important to involve children when designing with children as a target audience because they are experts in being children today which an adult designer is not. The paper also concludes that it is important for designers and researchers to consider and respectfully work with the ethical challenges of involving children in design processes.

I Egen Hög Person är ett möte mellan illustration och ångesthantering; hur man på ett säkert sätt kan närma sig sina känslor medan man samtidigt håller en välbehövlig distans. Arbetet är resultatet av en idé som vuxit fram ur tanken att inte låta våra känslor begränsas till den mentala tillvaron; i det här examensar-betet får de ta plats i den fysiska världen. Frågeställningarna “Hur kan jag med hjälp av grafisk design skapa ett visuellt och taktilt verktyg för ångesthantering riktat mot vuxna?” och “Hur kan jag med hjälp av illustration humanisera och förkroppsli-ga känslorna som kommer med ångest?” undersöker hur man kan möjliggöra ett mer förstående och hälsosamt förhållande till sig själv och det man känner. För vad är det som händer när vi helt plötsligt sätter ett ansikte på vår ångest? Genom enkäter, workshops, bildanalys, mindmaps, moodboards, skisser och designsprint utforskas ångest och hur den bäst kan förmedlas visuellt. / I Egen Hög Person is a combination of illustration and anxiety management; how to safely approach your emotions while simultaneously maintaining a much-needed distance. It’s the result of an idea that came out of the thought of   not letting our emotions be limited to the mental state; in this thesis, they take a step out into the physical world. The questions “How can I use graphic design to create a visual and tactile tool for anxiety management aimed at adults?” and “With the help of illustration, how can I humanize and embody the emotions that come with anxiety?” explores how one can enable a more understanding and healthy rela-tionship to oneself and what one feels. Because what is it really that happens when we suddenly put a face to our anxiety? Through surveys, workshops, image analysis, mind maps, mood boards, sketches and design sprints, the subject of anxiety is explored, and how it is best conveyed visually.

O presente trabalho demonstra a infuência dos processos de design no desenvolvimento de games no final dos anos 1970 e início dos anos 1980 e como isso pode ter funcionado como catalisador no processo de evolução da mídia videogame, levando-a da condição de atividade de recreação baseada em habilidades motoras para condição de mídia expressiva capaz de contar histórias. Para isto foi levantado o que seria um processo de design, tanto como metodologia associada a uma prática laboral quanto como estratégia cognitiva, conseguindo assim uma estrutura formal do processo. Dez jogos foram eleitos e analisados extensivamente tanto por seu conteúdo quanto pelos processos usados em seu desenvolvimento, usando-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e também de nove entrevistas com desenvolvedores envolvidos no projeto de games no período do recorte pro posto, para termos um panorama do contexto sociocultural em soma aos processos usados por eles à época. Nessas análises, critérios do processo de design foram utilizados para conseguimos um quadro geral de sua infuência nos games. / The present work demonstrates the influence of design processes in game development in the late 1970s and early 1980s and how this may have functioned as a catalyst in the evolution process of video game media, leading it from the condition of recreational activity based in motor skills for expressive media condition able to tell stories. For this, what was a design process was raised, both as a methodology associated with a work practice and as a cognitive strategy, thus achieving a formal process structure. Ten games were chosen and analyzed extensively both for their content and for the processes used in their development, using bibliographical research and also nine interviews with developers involved in the game design in the period of the proposed cut, in order to have a panorama of the sociocultural context in addition to the processes used by them at the time. In these analyzes, criteria of the design process were used to obtain a general picture of their influence in games.

Com abordagem qualitativa e finalidade exploratória e descritiva, esta pesquisa foi realizada por meio de estudos de casos múltiplos, os quais foram suportados por levantamento bibliográfico e documental. Para isso, desenvolveu-se um framework do processo de Design Thinking, composto por 6 (seis) fases: Contexto, Empatia, Insights, Ideias, Protótipos e Artefatos. A elaboração deste modelo de referência teve como fundamento 8 (oito) processos, publicados entre os anos de 2007 e 2014. A amostra investigada foi composta por 5 (cinco) Negócios de Impacto, os quais foram identificados, mapeados e selecionados de acordo com os critérios delimitados neste trabalho. Os dados foram coletados virtualmente em 3 (três) etapas, por meio de 2 (dois) questionários publicados no Formulários do Google, entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas via Skype™ e levantamento documental e bibliográfico sobre cada negócio. Os instrumentos utilizados nesta pesquisa foram apreciados e aprovados pelo Comité de Ética em Pesquisa do Hospital Universitário Alcides Carneiro (HUAC/UFCG), tendo como Certificado de Apresentação para Apreciação Ética (CAAE) o registro n° 63084316.7.0000.5182. Os dados obtidos foram registrados, organizados e categorizados com o suporte dos softwares MP3 Skype Recorder v.4.29 e Microsoft® Groove, Word® e Excel®, assim como foram transcritos, revisados, codificados e interpretados à luz da abordagem de Creswell (2010) para estudos qualitativos. Como resultados, viu-se que cada negócio possui uma configuração processual bastante singular, influenciada pelas particularidades do projeto, pela cultura organizacional e experiência da empresa, bem como pelo repertório, expertises e aporte metodológico da equipe. Assim como o Design Thinking, o processo projetual nos Negócios de Impacto se caracteriza principalmente pelo foco no ser humano, pela colaboração multidisciplinar e pela experimentação de soluções. Isto posto, concluiu-se que o Processo de Design de Artefatos em Negócios de Impacto não somente se assemelha com o Design Thinking, mas que este é também utilizado deliberadamente como metodologia projetual pela maioria dos empreendimentos investigados. Ademais, viu-se que algumas de suas características se revelam difusas, em maior ou menor intensidade, de maneira consciente ou não intencional, entre os estágios projetuais das empresas pesquisadas, até mesmo naquelas que não utilizam o pensamento de design como método ou que não possuem um processo metodológico mais rigoroso. / This study aimed to analyze the Design Process of artifacts designed by Social Business through the design phases of the Design Thinking approach, in order to characterize how the development process of products, services and digital artifacts in Sector 2.5's Companies occurs. With a qualitative approach and exploratory and descriptive goal, this research was carried out through multiple case studies, which were supported by a bibliographical and documental research. For this, a framework of the Design Thinking process was developed, composed of 6 (six) phases: Context, Empathy, Insights, Ideas, Prototypes and Artifacts. The elaboration of this reference modelwas based on 8 (eight) processes, published among the 2007 and 2014 years. The sample investigated was composed of 5 (five) Social Business, which were identified, mapped and selected according to the criteria delimited in this study. The data was virtually collected through 3 (three) steps: 2 (two) surveys published in Google Forms, a semistructured interview via SkypeTM, and the documental and bibliographical research. The data was recorded, organized and categorized with MP3 Skype Recorder v.4.29 and Microsoft® Groove, Word® and Excel®, as well as transcribed, revised, codified and interpreted through CreswelLs (2010) approach for qualitative studies. This research was appreciated and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the University Hospital Alcides Carneiro (HUAC / UFCG), having as Certificate of Presentation for Ethics Assessment (CAAE) the number 63084316.7.0000.5182. As a result, each business has a singular process configuration, influenced by the particularities of the project, organizational culture and company experience, and the know-how of the team. As Design Thinking, the Social Business design process is characterized mainty by the human-centered approach, the multidisciplinary collaboration and the experimentation of solutions. Therefore, it was concluded that the Social Business design process not only resembles the Design Thinking approach, but that it is also deliberately used as a design methodology by the most of the enterprises investigated. Thus, some of its characteristics have been diffused, to a greater or lesser intensity, in a conscious or unintentional way, between the design stages of the companies researched, even by those that do not use Design Thinking as a method, or that do not have a more rigorous methodological process.
