After watching this video, I realized how crucial it is to heavily consider the user, the human’s body and its movement. These ideas are taken into account for product designers, urban designers, architects and more, to create good design, you must create something that is functional and not a waste of space. I found the vendor enlightening, for the final project of this class, I am constructing a stool for sitting, but can also be used as an accent table. I am interested in exploring ergonomics, because it is important that the products I design are user-friendly. The most prominent idea that stood out to me was the creation of a shoe that would benefit triathlon athletes, the designer studied the human body’s movement and based the concept on a product that the athlete would benefit from. Today, consumers are constantly using and wasting products, because of the constant new advancements that are made with technology, if designers can create and produce something that is timelessly useful and sustainable, this will benefit the world.
