The lives of people with disabilities can often be very different from usually among ordinary people, and sometimes they are noticed by ordinary people.They may be more visible in life, and people tend to treat them differently because of their viability.I think true and fair design is not just about solving their daily problems, it’s about thinking about them like ordinary people.Help them integrate into society through labour skills training and create value for themselves.

This non-differentiated fairness makes it clear that every life should be treated equally and respectful of each other.Be kind to vulnerable groups, and do not discriminate against or even exclude or neglect vulnerable groups because of their vulnerability, nor is it simply compassion and charity to vulnerable groups.When the economy of society reaches a level of balance, and the person who can culturally and technically accept different individuals is equally human, it becomes aware that all people have the same humanity and rights.Such a concept could never have arisen on a ship about to sink.Treat them with a common heart, don’t despise them and don’t sympathize with them, they should be treated like us.What’s more, there are ways or means to encourage the confidence that motivates them to change their minds, so that they know that they, like us, can create value in their own way.

These images that impress me are an answer given to us by Tokyo, Japan, in this robot design and exploration. More often than not, people with disabilities need not “assistance” but “service”, which is the possibility of their equal participation in social life.

The meaning of understanding and interpreting graphics began to be based on percessible interpretation.Therefore, the design of decorative graphics or patterns need to be premised on the physiological response of vision, through innuendo to trigger association to finally understand its full meaning.In this video I see the emotional impact of design on people.

Vision can affect how you feel, which is obvious because attention resources are limited, so the personal experience is based on its mental state to make a choice, that is, the choice of visual consciousness.Especially in different emotional states, individuals have different visual feelings about emotional information and non – emotional information.Like using Trump’s gestures as poster content, what will he bring to the audience?So we think these three visual feelings occur during the visual selection of the viewing image:The main body of the image gives a hint; the emotional impulse that color brings to the viewer; and the association that connects the viewer’s life background.That is, the emotional state of the individual leads to the visual awareness of the viewing image, different audiences may have different reactions to the consciousness conveyed by the image.

Visual image is composed of one visual symbol after another, visual symbol is the code of meaning, these visual symbols need to be directly understood, but also need to associate and imagine to understand.As a special aesthetic expression in philosophical theory, artistic psychology has a very important influence on human visual experience, emotional change and psychological change.In this video, the artist discusses the impact of metaphor and image visualization on people through the exchange of images and audiences. Through the analysis of the influence of artistic psychology on visual communication design, the artist hopes to show emotions and hints to the audience, and also to study the changing effects of images on people’s emotions and consciousness.

Design was originally a kind of handicraft, mainly dedicated to creating beautiful objects, thus becoming a driving force on the road of industrialization. The design itself focuses on experience rather than technology. Design has changed people’s life and production methods, and also changed people’s usage habits and aesthetic benchmarks.Among them are the so-called “interaction design”, “experience design” or “human-computer interaction”, which mainly come from the efforts of psychology, human factors, ergonomics and computer science. There are also service designs that interact with people and systems, and are also related to services, psychology and business. All these developments have been incorporated into modern design activities. Human-centered design is perhaps the most important of these new developments. This is a process that requires a deep understanding of people. It starts with observations and then makes rigorous attempts to use these observations to determine the real potential problems and needs. Human-centered design separates us from designers who are masters.

It has brought us into an important profession, where we have a systematic approach to discover the real needs of people and society, develop proposed solutions, test and improve them. Even in our most basic daily lives, pleasing and satisfying products will be produced. With the help of powerful drawings and manufacturing tools, many self-taught people will start designing. This provides an opportunity for a workshop to mentor and prepare to take over when professional help is needed. Design is both craftsmanship and way of thinking.


The Future of Design: When you come to a fork in the road, take it

Because human thinking has the characteristics of associative and vividness, with the deepening of the creative conception process, one or even several images corresponding to the key points of creativity are often thought of.

The sketch is mainly to analyze the data and information that has been collected and sorted out, to get the entry point that may form the creativity, and try to relax yourself.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that creative conception and sketch performance are inseparable, and the way of thinking and drawing can gradually visualize and concret creative thinking.

On the one hand, creativity is reflected and preserved,On the other hand, sketches can test the quality of creativity. Sometimes you think well, but only when you draw it and find that it is not appropriate, you have to abandon the plan and rethink; sometimes in the process of drawing a sketch, you are affected by a certain figure, symbol, The inspiration of lines will produce new inspiration. The practical sketches expressing creativity and design schemes are the most direct manifestation of thinking, because a creative idea ofdesign positioning, when conceiving and designing schemes, is often inspired by the sketches drawn to derive more schemes.

When the task process is more complicated, users are easy to get lost in the process, thus giving up the task, resulting in unsatisfactory conversion rate. So we need to guide users on the interactive interface.

In human-computer interaction, whether it is text, image, color, dynamic effect, etc., mainly through visual feedback information, so visual guidance is particularly intuitive and effective.

Sometimes in a task flow or a page, it is inevitable to encounter confusing places. At this time, we have to guide the user to the real destination. The most typical is the iOS unlock prompt.

Sometimes in a task flow or a page, it is inevitable to encounter confusing places. At this time, we have to guide the user to the real destination.

The most typical is the iOS unlock prompt.In the new iPad system, tab switches for “year”, “month”, “day” and “all photos” are directly added to view photos.

In this way, we can arbitrarily zoom in the photos to view the details, or zoom out to quickly view the album. This solves the situation that when cleaning up the photos, you need to click one by one to confirm and you may delete them by mistake. After all, when you can only select multiple deletions on the small thumbnails, the chance of accidental deletion is really great.

And this kind of design can also be used in videos, photos or book lists. When the names of many movies or novels are repeated, users can zoom in on what they want to know, quickly confirm whether it is what they are looking for, and watch it directly. Or other operations, the user experience and operating efficiency will be greatly improved

In my PechaKucha experience, the teachers gave me very important suggestions for research and presentations. They thought that my scope was too large when formulating the research and design direction, which might make it difficult for me to find the main points of thinking in the subsequent design.

In P4, I took the waste of resources caused by consumerism as the starting point, and discussed that consumerism has led to a global ecological crisis by supporting the modern lifestyle of “mass production, mass consumption and mass abandonment”.

Because the human desire induced by mass production and mass consumption will exceed the tolerance limit of the earth’s ecological circle, and the excess garbage caused by mass waste will exceed the limit of self-repair and transformation of the ecosystem, which will inevitably cause the destruction of natural resources and the ecological environment Pollution.

I think that in my subsequent investigation and research, I should first clarify a specific point of investigation purpose and “investigation object, and then formulate a reasonable investigation plan. This can avoid unnecessary investigations due to the excessive scope of the investigation.”

Spend more time on the direction, and focus more on the main points of the design.This will also make it easier for me to think and summarize information in the subsequent investigation and design process.

In web page design, it is necessary to coordinate the various sections and frameworks, and at the same time to be related to the text content to form a whole. Use contrast and harmony, symmetry and balance, rhythm and rhythm, and white space to establish an overall equilibrium state through the interrelationship between space, text, and graphics to produce a harmonious aesthetic. For example, in page design, the symmetry principle sometimes makes the page look dull, but if you add some dynamic text, patterns, or use exaggerated methods to express the content, it will often achieve better results. Points, lines, and planes are the basic elements of visual language. The points, lines, and planes should be used to intersperse, set off and complement each other to form the best page effect. The use of points, lines, and planes in web design is not isolated. In many cases, they need to be combined to express the perfect design mood. In a web page, the space between two larger content elements (referred to as large space here). This kind of white space can attract and guide the user’s eyeballs to scan the page. When used properly, you can direct the user’s attention to the elements you want to highlight.

This is most effective when displaying brand logos or increasing user interaction. In the space between two smaller content elements (referred to as small space here), such as a text, or a line of text, lists, icons, etc., proper white space can also make these elements easier to identify. In web design, where and how to use negative space will depend on their role. In short, we roughly divide these roles into big elements and small elements.

My mentor thinks that my website classification is not specific enough, and it is not reasonable to put all work reports under one heading.The core task of making your own web design is to learn some knowledge about visual design.What kind of layout to use to organize the level logic of the uploaded work, what color to use, and how big the font size can be more clear.How to make the image performance more visually creative and interactive experience will be better, this is the key point I should draw when learning the production and design of web blogs.

A web page is made to be used and viewed by others. To be good-looking (concise), to be easy to use (efficient), this is a question I need to consider repeatedly. A website is composed of web pages in a certain order of links. More and more people can have their own personal homepages or personal websites on the Internet to show their personalities and characteristics.

Therefore, webpage production has become a basic skill for people in modern society. More and more people will learn how to produce webpages. At the same time, more and more webpage production tools are displayed in front of people. We practice the current webpage creation tools, we must learn the basic editing and usage methods, and how to use these tools together, so that viewers can browse and read webpages quickly and conveniently, and get a better use and reading experience.

In my eyes, information is the root of the web. As far as web design is concerned, web pages should be concise as a whole and not dazzled by people. This is the most basic. Web design is set off by the meaning of web pages. Web design is actually to classify and plan the information on the web. Whether it is a dynamic design or a static design, it cannot be separated from the essence of a web page, that is, “the essence of a web page is information.”

Therefore, to make a pleasant blog viewing interface is to effectively and effectively deliver the message I want to the viewer.
