Topic: ‘Human centered design-Designing for disabilities’
The presenter was very fast and could have had less information to digest. However its was clear enough to understand the main ideas and that the student had done a high level of research. This research into history of the design field, statistics and empathetic talk conveyed how people with disabilities have interacted with design.
Specific examples include how the World Wars created a new need for design solutions. ‘A.D.A.’ Americans with disabilities act was signed in 1990 in the U.S.A., while there was a similar one in Australia -the national disability strategy. The student explained the idea of equal accessibility designs, such as prosthetics, hand rails, ramps, hearing aids and tones more well referenced researched.
The visual presentation was wordy with large amounts of information displayed. This paired with the large chunks of info already being verbally presented meant the audience may not have been able to effectively take it all in. I believe it would have better to have a completely image based visual presentation in my opinion.
Overall the peer showed great understanding and interest in her chosen field, displaying lots of information, understanding and research.
Yeah Nah Nah Yeah
