Butik Thoughtful Acts | Design with Intent Above & below: ‘Push’ Table by Jennifer Hing. Jane Fulton Suri‘s wonderful Thoughtless Acts? chronicles, visually, “those intuitive ways we adapt, exploit, and react to things in our environment; things we do without really thinking” – effectively, examples of valid affordances perceived by users, which were not designed intentionally. Observing how people actually ‘make use’ of/hack the products, systems and environments around them – emergent user behaviour – and extracting lessons and ideas which can then be applied developing new and improved products, is a cornerstone of IDEO’s human factors strategy, and it seems to have been very successful. It’s an intelligent way of designing. So I was excited to see, at New Designers last week, some inspired projects based around exactly this kind of thinking. Clearing the table is a simple task made complicated by the search for an alternative surface to temporarily relocate anything removed. Above & below: My Table by Tiina Hakala
Retail Design Blog Tiendrez-vous votre volant avec vous partout comme un téléphone? En 2040, Jaguar pense que nous quitterons la voiture, mais gardons la roue – qu’il appelle Sayer – comme un dispositif intelligent et la clé d’une flotte de véhicules autonomes. Dans la voiture de l’avenir, il y aura un petit salon étroit, dépourvu de tableau de bord, avec un seul volant rectangulaire. Le tracé, qui ressemble peu à une voiture moderne, suggère que nous sommes entrés dans la vision de Jaguar d’une voiture entièrement auto-propulsée, 23 ans à l’avenir. Bienvenue à l’année 2040. La voiture est le concept Future-TYPE de Jaguar Land Rover et n’existe que dans le monde virtuel. Lorsque vous arrivez dans votre allée ou votre garage, il est conçu pour sortir de la voiture et entrer avec vous, faisant ainsi le lien entre un appareil comme votre iPhone et » un bel objet à avoir dans sa maison « . « Plus vous passez de temps ensemble, plus Sayer apprendra à vous connaître et plus il sera conscient du contexte.
Yindesign's Blog My goals for this quarter As I didn’t have so much sketch training before, it is very necessary to take design communication class in Cincinnati. 1-Improve my sketch skill was my goal I gave to myself before I came here. 2-Redesign my portfolio in order to apply an awesome Co-Op. 3-Choosing a studio project, which in an area I have never tried before. 4-Learning design method they use here in DAAP 5-Explore the difference of American design and European design. 6-Try to learn more about American culture, also improving my English. 7-Learn Alia if I have time! Review. Review 1-It was the best decision I made in DAAP, taking Mike Roller’s class, I learned a lot in his Des communication Class, not only sketching skills, but also how to find my best way of communicate my design work. 2-My portfolio looks much better than before, and here in DAAP, I realize portfolio should be updated all the time. 5- Ok,American style! But that’s not enough! American design at least is not perfectionist.
