In this video Bill Moggridge indicate what is design and provide some examples of good design and bad design. He also gives us ideas about what designer should concerned about consumers. Personally design is that area of human experience, skill and knowledge which is concerned with man’s ability to mould his environment to suit his material and spiritual needs.
BILL said that “everything is design”. There have wide variety of product in our life like buildings furniture jewelry and so on. The design award projects have been shown us as examples of good design.
Good design could be something especially designed for the special groups like older people children or disability and good design is designed for everybody as well.
As a designer, the most important thing should be concerned is about people, but also the product should be useful useable producible desirable profitable and differentiated. Design disciplines form teams for complex problems.
There also have an example shown of the future design which is a multimedia service system could control by human oral instructions like make a phone call and auto navigation.
The video also give us examples of bad design. Bill said that, the key factors in the design process understand people and prototyping.
There have an example shows that In Japan there is a program on the phone network can purchase product on the vending machine. But it takes a long time to connect the internet and download the program in first time. Nobody would like to wait 35 minutes buy a drink.
BILL also provides some methods about design for different people.
Learn~ Analyze the information you’ve collected: flow analysis affinity diagrams, cognitive task and historical analysis
Look~ Observe people to find out what they do: personal inventory, a day in the life, shadowing.
Ask~ Enlist people’s participation to elicit insights: conceptual the landscape experience, collage, foreign correspondents and draw.
Try~ Create simulations to help empathize with people
There also have 3 stages of prototyping: inspire, evolve, validate
In conclusion, design is a way of solving different problems. The problem from special group of people, or the problems from everyone.

Spring scissors rationale
This is a pair of scissors that design to use easier, comfortable and it is really different than the other scissors. Ergonomics design is to fit human hand shape, allowed the user use much confortable for longer time. for all tools a “C” shape handle back is the best shape to fit the curve of the hand also I design to use rubber, rubber is good to be the handle, it is not too soft and not too hard, it can change a little bit of the shape to fit every user, rubber have a non slip surface, people can easy hold and will not slip.
This scissors got a spring, it different than the other spring, it is not a roll shape spring, it is a “V” shape spring, stronger than the roll shape spring but will not need to use much strength to us it, every time when the user cut something it will auto open again, it is good to let people cut fast and good for old people to use it,
The spring idea is from the pliers, what I think is when cutting things, normally need to cut a lot, so the scissors will auto open is better, however normal pliers spring don’t have enough strength, when cutting something too hard, maybe stuck. so I need to think a kind of new spring, that’s why I use two elasticity metal to make a spring.
Second why not using the old style scissors handle, the design of my scissor can have more space to hold, so it can let the user exert more strength to cut things that are hard like cardboard or plastic, it can also put one side of the handle on the table and us hole hand the push another side of the handle to cut something that is really hard to cut.
