Design Strategies

Which one is NOT a design strategy

• Iterative

• Systems

• User centered

• Developing

This is an advantage of which design strategy:

The design is tested and evaluated along the way, most problems are ironed out and discovered early on in the process.

• iterative

• user centered

• systems thinking

User feedback is constantly gathered in

• iterative and user centred strategy

• User centred and Systems

• all 3

• Systems and iterative

Cycle approach to design - testing, feedback and evaluation along the way

• iterative

• user centred

• systems

Which is a DISADVANATGE of Iterative design

• It can be time consuming if a lot of iterations are needed

• If it becomes too focused on what one user wants it may not then be viable to sell to anyone else

• Due to them designing in blocks sometimes it leads to unnecessary components being used

User centred design ....

• focuses on collecting feedback from the client regularly

• works in cycles - focusing on modelling and testing

• starts with the overall picture and works backwards

A design strategy often used in electronics ...

• user centred

• iterative

• systems

An advantage to the designer in systems thinking is ....

• Evidence of progress can easily be shown to people who have invested money in the product and want to see what is happening

• The end user feels listened to and the end products suits them better

• You dont need specialist knowledge of electronics/systems to design the overview of the input process and output

A disadvantage of user centred is …

• Due to them designing in blocks sometimes it leads to unnecessary components being used

• It takes time to arrange meetings with the customer/user and to adapt designs based on their needs.

• It can be time consuming if a lot of iterations are needed
