David Kelley: Human centred design | Task Five: Part One |
After I watched this video, I was enlightened into how design today is being used in our society. The products that were shown, gave the idea of how designs are now more than their use or look, it’s about the experience behind the use that is being taken into count. I was specially amazed on the idea of the “Sky Fish” giving the opportunity to people who are either scared or don’t have the time to learn how to scuba dive. This product gives them the chance to experience the underwater adventure, they are keen to take without getting off the boat.
My growth as an industrial designer was affected by this video due to the idea of how designs in the future may need to be more human-based. So rather than just focusing on working out how it looks and how quickly it can solve a problem, i could also take the opportunity to focus on the experience the consumer may take while using the product.
My opinions towards design have changed because of the different products that were shown in the video, as they were very enlightening about the future of design. The use of human experience provided evidence of how consumers today seek more than just an accessory, but rather something that gives them the ability to experience something new, or different. Like seeing your own back, or having a more home like environment in the workplace. So instead of thinking that design is about the look of the object, its about the use and what it can give back to the user rather than just being an object that solves their problem.
