# DESIGN LITERACY: ORGANIZING SELF-‐ORGANIZATION
Design literacy= “When moJvated prosumers want to express their idenJJes, they need different kinds of knowledge and skills, which together make up what we can call ‘design literacy’.”
Dick Rijiken analyses design literacy on three levels.
-‐ Strategic -‐ TacJcal -‐ OperaJonal
Vision Choices
Skills
WEB 2.0= A Web 2.0 site may allow users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-‐generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where people are limited to the passive viewing of content.
Web and digital toos become generic infrastructures for creaJng, sharing and transforming informaJon. This changes everything that has anything to do with ideas and also design.
We move from ‘design as culture’ to a culture of design, where design is part of our natural mode of being.
But, life can be annoyingly complex and most of us are not born with sufficient imaginaJve capacity to fully uJlize the potenJal of the producJon technologies that are currently available.

⇒Most of us need help!!
How we design? What we design? How we think about design? How we learn and teach design?

Vision Choices
Skills
Strategic vision= Know what you want, based on knowing who you are and what you want to achieve. There is no becer example here than Steve Jobs.
TacJcal choices= Be able to make choices that determine what it is that you are making. What you are making is ulJmately a design that can be produced, in order to make the vision a reality.
Choices= Content, structure, behavior and form.
OperaJonal skills= Be able to use available producJon tools and infrastructures. Geeng this skill is easy. Because many people can teach themselves how to use tools and help each other using social media, such as forums or blogs.
