Design with Intent: 101 Patterns for Influencing Behaviour through Design

http://www.danlockton.com/dwi/Main_Page

Here's what [[Ken Gillgren]] said about this one:  "This recently released toolkit is hands down the most elegant and practical implementation of a pattern language approach that I have seen to date. It’s in the form of 101 simple cards, each illustrating a particular ‘gambit‘ for influencing people’s interactions with products, services, environments, and each other, via the design of systems. Take a look at this approach and accompanying resources. Absolutely fantastic!"
