design strategies

• Why do designers use a design strategy?

  To maintain an open mind and explore a range of ideas
• What are the advantages of using a design strategy?

  It allows for an open mind, a range of ideas, and different perspectives
• How can we approach and generate different design ideas?

  By not going with our first instinct and exploring multiple options
• What are the three design strategies mentioned in the study material?

  Collaboration, user-centered design, systems thinking
• How do the three design strategies help in the design process?

  They help form an iterative design process
• What is iterative design?

  It is an approach to continually improve a design or product through prototyping and testing
• What is the iterative process described in the study material?

  Creating a prototype, testing it, tweaking it, and repeating until a solution is reached
• Why is collaboration important in the design process?

  It sparks imagination and involves input from other users or designers
• What does SCAMPER stand for in the context of collaboration?

  It is a technique used to inspire new solutions based on existing products
• What is user-centered design?

  It involves putting users' needs at the center of every decision
• How does user-centered design work in projects and NEA?

  By investigating user needs, identifying specifications, and gathering feedback
• What is anthropometric data?

  Measurements of the human body
• How can systems thinking be applied in design?

  By breaking down the use of a system into simple stages and considering options at each stage
• What are some example products mentioned that can use systems thinking?

  Mobile phones, baby monitors, car alarms
• How does systems thinking help in solving design problems?

  It allows designers to work out problems in a logical manner
• What is the process of working backwards in systems thinking?

  Identifying the end result, the process to achieve it, and the necessary inputs
• What task is suggested to turn an example into a systems diagram?

  To create a flowchart
• What are some questions to recap the importance of design strategies?

  What are the disadvantages? Which will you use next? How have your ideas changed?
• Why might a designer consider the disadvantages of design strategies?

  To evaluate their effectiveness and make informed decisions
• How can a designer determine which design strategy is most useful?

  By reflecting on their ideas and the context of the project
