Video Reflection

Paul Bennett- Design is in the Details

This video explored the way that designers in todays society need to focus more and more on specific details to produce a complete product for the consumer. For example the designers put themselves into the shoes of the consumer thay are designing for to fully understand their task and therefore create something that ticks all the boxes. This was shown well with the data information mechanism for the nurses allowing them to get data as well as hold the hand of the patient whilst in surgery.
They also managed to tick all the boxes on their water pump. It is lightweight, is transportable by bikes and can be used by anyone. They focussed on every aspect that is important to the consumer and focused on the details to make it the best possible design.
this is important to us as designers as we need to learn to take our time do the necessary reasearch and focus on all the little details. this way we are able to design something that is just another product but something that improves the consumers interaction with the product.
