Co- Design

Co-operative Design is when all participants involved in a project to design an approach to help ensure the result meets their needs and is usable. The process originally is involving consumers and users of products or services to their development. With research combined by co-operating the problem or needs that would be met. The roles change; A person will be served through the design process, given the position of ‘experts of their experience’, and is a large part in knowledge development, idea generation and concept development.

An example of co-design in a work place a local community would work together with a third sector organisation and academics to develop shared ideas that have been generated from one another and knowledge provided. Other cases may be when people co-operate as they find synergies across essentially different interests or projects but work independently from each other to reach their own objectives. To finish the organisation everyone would connect their resources that have been found and or made and the actions they have had to make to be able to serve their own objectives.

Design Cultures

Design Culture is an organisation that focuses on improving customer experiences through design approaches. The design is important as it allows the business and or company to understand the users and their needs. There is a desire to utilise design principles to solve problems as well as appreciation the value design adds. In any organisation with a healthy design culture, all involved in the company is taught to understand and respect the value of design.

Design culture is about making decision that should be made intentionally. Any thoughts, ideas, details can be summed up to produce a big impact, that's why design-centric organisations are biased against leaving anything behind.

There are many examples of design culture that has been experienced by many people involved such as, when it comes to research. A degree to which they explore data, use their own products and get out to meet end users. The leadership a team or organisation has. For example, a organisation requires an approval from a creative director. Other than that, a design firm may potentially have a all for one style of leadership where designers do as they please and their aim being to keep their clients happy.

Design Thinking

Design thinking is a systematic process for creative and innovative ideas of solving problems. its a human-centred creativity with purpose. The process encourages organisations to focus on creating for people. This leads to developing and making better products, services, and internal processes. It is not specific to a industry or area of expertise. It can be as effective in education and or technology as it may be in services or manufacturing.

When it comes to professional businesses Design Thinking is quickly becoming the ‘go-to’ approach. There are a variety of benefits associated with design thinking as it offers effective solutions to common challenges. 

Design thinking can divert your design perspective. As the designer, it is important to put yourself in the learners perspective to determine what problem they are facing and how you can solve the problem. This is a given opportunity to view a problem from a different point of view. 

The process on how the design thinking works is a simple model plan. Starting with empathy towards the problem that is needing solving solved. The understanding consults experts to find out more about the area concern. Following is the define stage, putting together information that has been gathered during the emphasis stage.

Thirds stage being to indicate. Ready to start generating ideas. This is the part where the designer has grown to understand the users. Creating a prototype, scaled down version, will keep cost down and can experiment with an imperfect model to then develop with.Finally the test stage where the designers test the complete product using the best solutions identified during the prototype phase.

Future of Fashion

Fashion technology is growing massively in the 21st century. Technology is a big factor in todays generation, the first existing computer was created in 1971 which inspired many manufacturers to create, which lead to 1973. Martin Cooper made the first mobile. Followed by IGM Simon manufacturing a touchscreen mobile in 1992. Ever since the industry has grown to improve and better there products for consumers and to the world. In 2014, Apple released a tech (apple) watch which spread around the world as it was a new invented gadget, the first Fashion Technology.

As technology inventions have inspired many manufactureres it is starting to effect the fashion industry being introduced by the Apple Watch. For the future of fashion it is bright and exciting. As many technology gadgets they are made and have benefit many people lives, wearable tech can help improve peoples everyday lives through responsive botanical and biological base. An example of this is in 2014 there was a space suit called ‘skin suit’ made to keep their bones structured, muscles trained whilst out in space as there was research found on how space badly effects the human body.

Critical Design

Critical Design uses speculative design proposals to challenge many assumptions given about the role that everyday life products play in. It takes a critical theory based approach to a design made. This kind of design uses design fiction and speculative design. it opposes belief systems and ideals that underpin design for commercial or practical utility.

“There is a place for a form of design that pushes the cultural and aesthetic potential and role of electronic products and services to its limits”                 Early Conception (2001)

Fiction is the inspiration for the future. Critical design, takes the form of a story and or media presentation that challenges base assumptions about the present, past or the future. For example, counterfactual thinking could be used in critical design, to tell a story of how history would have unfolded without the presence of fossil fuels on the planet.

Speculating the future involves projects based on current trends or suggestions that current trends are about to suddenly end or reverse. This can also involve thought experiments such as how the future will view current designs. Developing theories and models challenging design convections suggesting a new method to captivate holograms that would improve quality if it could be implemented.

Design Digitally

As the years go by, technology and gadgets are being developed to become bigger and better than what they currently stand to be. What was once a simple call to a friend, a clock being hung up on a wall to a television being shaped like a box and no existense of colour on a screen is now a distance memory. This now being a portable device that tells the time, contacts to one another through mobile devices and apps that are now provided to show visual interaction. Clocks aren't being used for their purpose due to tech gadgets providing the time on the screen and to be able to give you a function to use it as a stopwatch, alarm clock etc. Televisions are thinner and hung up on a wall that are also being made to be smart device to talk to. 

Interactive design is the practice of designing interactive digital products, environment, systems, and services. Alongside their identities and promotions. Our everyday tools and objects that we are fond of are becoming more numerous and specialist.
