Task 5 : Video Reflections - part 1

David Kelley: Human centred design

My major "take-home message" was the concept of "human centred design". My opinion about design changed, because modern designers not just forcus on their own products, how things look from the outside or high technical objects, but need to be well served to the users. So to make the consumer's life brilliant, designers won't communicate their ideas through 3D modles anymore, they get the objects to have emotion, behaviour and personality, showing how their products can be used by filming internal video productions. David Kelley showed six internal video productions, how designer made the liquid crystal changing room with a 3 second delay function. The idea of making the cubicle more human, when you leave home the flower gets weak as it's showing disappointing, but when you come back it gets well means happy to see you. Therefore the finished product made the creator said : "Life wil be sweet in a cubicle like this."

The video suggests for my growth as an industrial designer I need to remember it is human centred design, and how thousands of water drops became one huge waterfall, then produces out one product, it means that designers need to work with others and it is more about the enjoyable design process.
