Yvonne's assignment one

1.All designers, however specialized, should know roughly what their colleagues do – and why; not only to fertilize their own thinking, but also to make group practice effective, and for other reasons that will appear. (Ch1 p.15)

Designers should know what my colleagues think because product design includes many field. We should consider the marketing, engineering, cost and how to produce the product.

2.In this respect he might be seen as a medical man, with the responsibility a doctor has for accurate diagnosis (problem analysis) and for a relevant prescription (design proposals), though the comparison should not be taken too far. (Ch2 p.19)

Designers are like doctor because we find problems and solve them. So we can make people feel better just like a doctor.

3.Designers use words constantly and in direct relation to their work; in forming and discussing ideas, assessing situations, annotating drawings, writing specifications and letters, and in report writing. (Ch2 p.22)

Designers should use words clearly because we need to let people understand what we think correctly.

4.He must like understand people and be able to treat with them; he must be able to accept fairly complex situations in which he may well be working as a member of a team. (Ch2 p.22)

Designers should be like understand people. For example, when we design a chair, we should not only make it beautiful but also need to think is it comfortable to people? Is it easy to use? We need to observe people and find out what they need.

5.Again, the fact that design work is ten per cent inspiration and ninety per cent fairly hard work. (Ch2 p.22)

Hard work is very important. Only hard work can make our idea come true.
