User-Centered Design: Design focused on user needs and goals. “the user knows best” The ones who use the product are consulted in the design.

Activity-Centered Design: Design focused on the tasks and activities that need to be accomplished.  Design based on the behavior surrounding particular tasks.

Systems Design: Design focused on the components of a system. Design that uses an established arrangement of components to create design solutions.
