Document Summary
Spatialdesign instructor russell taylor teaching assistants esther park + sean leach + robyn goodridge. When you begin to question your surroundings, and find out how to solve the problems that you see, you start to become a designer. Design makes what is hard, easier, and what is easy, memorable - john maeda. When designers create products, spaces or media they ask along the way how human beings will interact with their work. Engineers start from technology and look for a use for it; business people start with a business proposition and then look for the technology and people. Designers start with people, coming towards a solution from the point of view of people. - bill moggridge (*he designed the first laptop computer/founder of ideo) In fact, the forces that drive product development range from short-term economic interests of manufacturers to the expressive or theoretical intent of designers, to a community"s entrenched habits and customs.
