Video Reflections 1: David Kelley - Human centred design



With time, comes the development of technology and the progress of mankind, hence the changes in wants, needs and desires of these people that make up the market. New ideas often turn to fads in mere moments, resulting in designers cracking their heads for innovative solutions.

I viewed David Kelley speaking of the concept and philosophy of human centred design as an alarm to alert designers of the change in times. Every detail of the design process is now evermore focused on the needs and wants of the consumer.

Kelley stressed that designs of today are based on the human participation and the consideration of emotions and human thoughts, instead of just their bare functions.

This video serves as a reminder to designers to keep their design in check and up to date. It informs as well as inspires industrial designers and laymen alike, providing insight into a new form of thinking and viewing the design process.
