| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| PDS | Product Design Specifications 'Good' design is if it meets it. Objectively tested - quantitative. |
| Stuart Pugh | Made Pugh's Plates - sub-sections PDS must address |
| Pugh's plates basic | Environment, testing, safety, product life span, materials, ergonomics (how interacted with and improve ease of use), aesthetics, performance, product cost, time scale, size + weight, maintenance (how often product maintained - consumable parts?) |
| Reason for modelling | Help make decisions or prove/disprove predictions |
| Shape vs form | Shape 2d profile, form 3d object |
| Tangential alignments | Lines and curves meeting at a single point - aerodynamic, minimal, aesthetic |
| e.g. of anthropomorphism | Anna G corkscrew or 1915 coca-cola bottle |
| Ergonomic considerations | Anthropometric data, differing abilities (all senses), force, materials, colour, symbols |
| Guidelines for control design | Not move unnecessarily, easy to grip (larger), increase grip control surfaces, in dark - no flush surfaces for aesthetics, pressure optimised, varying shapes/sizes touch, clear labels, tactile markings easy to find, important info shown variety of ways |
| Inclusive design | Accessible to and usable by as many people as reaosnably possible *without the need for special adaptation or specialised design*. UCD involved. Empathetic involved |
| Empathetic design | Designers taking part in task analyses while emulating possible restrictions e.g. third age suit - joint + grip + vision restrict |
| Ergonomics definition | Scientific study of people and their working conditions |
| Task analysis | Study of individual tasks performed by consumers |
| UCD | Use of the end user throughout design process to ensure developed product focused on actual needs not designer perceived |
