DAVID KELLEY - human centred design


From watching the video i was inspired to learn more about what the future holds and what will be possible as a new age of design is tapped into. I found it a great insight into what to expect from design and also where to start in terms of designing a product. His comments about design being human centred and built for us humans helps me to begin design for the future.


I was amazed at some of the technologies talked about in the film from the liquid crystal displays which act as a door or curtain to the idea that in the future cubicals will be very much user friendly and interactive with not only the physical side of work but also the emotional and the mental aspects of working in a group environment.


It was interesting to see and find out that more and more emphasis is being put on working prototypes and in particular videos of the working prototype to show clients as it is a great way to advertise all aspects of the product and what it is capable of. By showing people interacting with the product the video helps clients to understand exactly how the product is used by consumers.


Overall, the video was an interesting and informing experience that inspires me in my process of learning to design.
