Understanding Design Factors

What is the function of a product?

• The color of the product

• The purpose for which the product has been designed

• The size of the product

• The price of the product

How do 'Materials' affect the aesthetics of a product?

• Materials determine the color and texture of a product, influencing its visual appeal.

• Materials have no impact on the aesthetics of a product.

• Materials only affect the durability, not the aesthetics, of a product.

• Materials are irrelevant to the design process.

Explain how 'Colour' influences the aesthetics of a product.

• Colour determines the functionality of a product.

• Colour has no impact on the aesthetics of a product.

• Colour influences the aesthetics by affecting perception and emotional response.

• Colour is only important for branding purposes.

The impact of 'Size/Proportion' on the aesthetics of a product is:

• It enhances the visual appeal and balance.

• It decreases the functionality.

• It has no effect on aesthetics.

• It makes the product more expensive.

Which branch of Ergonomics deals with the measurement of human body dimensions?

• Psychology

• Physiology

• Anthropometrics

What percentile range are most products designed for?

• 90th to 100th percentile range
• 50th to 90th percentile range
• 10th to 30th percentile range
• 30th to 50th percentile range

Designers can improve the human/product interface by:

• enhancing usability and accessibility

• adding more complex features

• focusing solely on aesthetics

• increasing production costs

The on/off button should be easy to find and symbols for functions easy to understand because:

• it enhances user experience and accessibility.

• it makes the device look more modern.

• it reduces the cost of production.

• it allows for more complex designs.

Physiology is related to the study of the human body and its interaction with products because it:

• describes the structure of body parts

• focuses on the body's response to external stimuli

• lets the user know when the product has completed a task

• focuses on ensuring the product is the right size

Products must be designed to avoid stress, strain, fatigue, and injury because:

• they enhance user comfort and safety.

• they increase production costs.

• they reduce the product's lifespan.

• they complicate the design process.
