video reflection - human centred design

David Kelley, the founder of the internationally renowned design company IDEO opens us to the notions of the innovational user centred approaches to design.
Human centred design... involves designing behaviours and personality into products.
 The futuristic approach adopted by Prada in their new interactive environments enhance their customer's shopping experience, increasing user friendliness and efficiency. In creating this cultural bond, we are able to see the potential of growth in design and technologies that would vastly affect the future of shoppers.


It is evident to state that design may also account for advances in education systems, by making learning interactive and more adaptable to human understanding. This may be particularly beneficial to the younger populace as interactive learning may be seen as more fun, approachable and yielding.

The task to integrate natural elements into the design of cubicles was explored in order to create a better working environment to benefit the employees. This human friendly design approach would, in effect, hope to increase the productivity of the company.

Human centred design has a large part to play in the near future. As society becomes ever more reliant on applied and techical sciences and also technology, human integrated design and innovations will also continue to transform and mold into what will be our tomorrow.
