"Design-Featuring," as illuminated by this book, is a new field of activity for designers, centered on using design tools to imagine and negotiate various (desirable) futures. It strongly focuses on designing concrete, visible future scenarios to prompt action from business, political, and social decision-makers. The more consciously designers shape their design intentions of speculation/critique/innovation, the further the effects of Design-Featuring will reach.

This book introduces powerful tools for creating future scenarios. Various creative methods expand the imagination for "better" future scenarios that depict the daily lives of ordinary people. With abundant color illustrations and diagrams, it clearly presents 27 recommended tools and 15 practical examples, opening up a new area of contribution for designers who strategically shape the future.
