I want to pare it down and think it through more, but in the end, the plain old instructional design model seems like it works across design fields: 1) Analyze 2) Design 3) Develop 4) Implement 5) Evaluate I agree, Carl.

It's something like 1.7% design and 98.3% ancillary stuff. Design usually is a super-simple process, as far as I can tell. 1. Find problem. 2. Think of a solution. 3. Tell somebody about it. 4-a. Try it because it seems like it'd work. -- or -- 4-b. Bag it because it'll never work. 5. See if somebody wants to pay money for it. If not, jump back to #2 and start over again.
