Video Reflection #1


David Kelley 2002
“The future of design is human centered”

The user experience has paramount over the hardware of a product.This video discusses the evolution of human centered design. The injection of behavior and personality into products and the
effects they have on design.
Kelley gives examples of internal productions that are used to convey a design in its intended environment, giving the design a new element of response...Human.

The ability to now reflect on old design and humanise it seems to be the next step, as Kelley discuss's. Examples of such as creating viewable fitting rooms at Prada with in built preview screens to the living cubicle of Dilbert stuck in my head as a new focus of design, that of environmental flexibility within the parameters of a design to allow the human user to make the environment conform to them rather than the other way around.
