remark(s): all may be considered complimentary references, the first a solid overview of issues indesign, the second with a diversity of (relevant!) essays, and the third not so much a design book as well as providing a model that is (at least) inspirational for the exploratory attitude that is at the heart of creative technology ... (eh ...) and the latter with refreshing ideas on design thinking and (business) innovation(s).

comment(s)

1. Angelika Mader's model -- ideation, specification, realization, validation
2. book Interaction Design -- Beyond Human-Computer Interaction -- cross-disciplinary, practical and process-oriented approach

ad 1) good starting point, with entry for (all?) imaginable perspectives
ad 2) perhaps too much too read, and too wide ..., but I am not sufficiently familar with the field ...
