Unfortunately, engaging with users, especially in the ideation process, often requires significant planning, time, and resources that may be difficult on projects with limited budgets. This suggests that more lightweight methods for generating ideas with users are needed. To help address this need, we developed a new design method we call \u201cDesignLibs,\u201d inspired by the children\u2019s game Mad Libs\u2122. DesignLibs helps designers generate new ideas rapidly and easily while still involving users by combining the storytelling aspects of scenarios, but leaving aspects of the scenario to be filled in by the user. We developed and evaluated three different formats for DesignLibs.
