Vedio reflection: Human centered design

In the talk Human centered design,David Kelly pointed out that the approach of product design today is designing the behavior and personality in the product.What I see about this approach is to place the product in certain circumstances and find out the relationship between the product and human.In the process of finding out the relationship,designers may fancy some ideas and try them instantly. The video showed really expressed the concept.

In the Prada shop,the staff devices,see-through dressing room and special mirrors enhance cumstomers' shopping experience,and that's why these three products are made and improved. How customers use them and feel about them are the key points of how they are designed.

Other examples David Kelly showed were products that designed in different environment.Like the cubical case, designers experienced the office themselves and tried different methods to satisfy the client.There are emotional factor inside the final design.The flowers,fish tank and other relax devices made the cubical office alive, presenting a fresh experience to the user.

As an industrial designer, I think the most important things is to creat ideas. Where our ideas come from are the experiences in different environment. What we act and feel are resources of design.
