A Very Strange Thing: Commodity Discourse In Cultural Theory And Design, P. Boradkar

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This paper attempts to bring to design dialogue an expanded meaning of the term “commodity” by revealing its presence and discussion in other disciplines via the writings of some of the predominant thinkers through history. Particularly germane to design are the notions of commodity fetishism and commodity aesthetics eloquently outlined in treatises by Karl Marx and Wolfgang Haug. Experiments in generating innovative forms largely perceived as imperative creative exercises in design are, according to Marxist thought, merely attempts to valorize capital. The redesign of product forms is labeled by Marxists as ‘aesthetic aging,’ and referred to as an activity with …

A (X 4): Combining Ethnography, Scenario-Building, And Design To Explore User Experience, P. Rothstein

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In today’s marketplace, developing new user experiences significantly influences success. Like never before, it has become vital to connect with consumers in experiential ways. “Recognizing experiences as a distinct economic offering,” note Joseph Pine and James Gilmore (1999), authors of The Experience Economy, “provides the key to future economic growth.” This paper describes a (x 4), a new method for designing user experiences. Drawing from elements found in market research, ethnography and design, a (x 4) is an effective tool that features a unique emphasis on visual and narrative communication. The paper includes: • background information about the emergence of …

Building Better Relationships Between Design Research, Design Research Education, Government, Industry And The Design Professions, T. Love

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Governments and major industrial players regard successful innovation as one of the most significant factors in improving economic and social outcomes. Designing is the process by which new knowledge is transformed into innovative products, systems and services. Research into designing provides the foundation for improving designing and improving how innovation processes are managed. Stakeholders in design activities have relatively neglected design research. This paper focuses on the role of concepts and terminology in multidisciplinary design fields in supporting or inhibiting relationships between design professionals, designs researchers, design research educators, government and industry organisations.

A Comparative Study Of Iconic Influences Amongst British And Canadian Design Students, P. A. Rodgers, M. Strickfaden

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design students encounter a wide variety of influences and inspiration during their education. Moreover, the knowledge and skills required and utilised whilst studying design encompasses both explicit and implicit knowledge, and iconic and canonic knowledge types. This paper explores, comparatively, the iconic influences amongst sets of British and Canadian undergraduate design students. Using naturalistic experimentation techniques, the study’s main objective is to investigate whether a student’s design influences, and subsequent artifact creation activities, are affected by their educational context, their economic situation, their gender or age, and their geographical conditions amongst others. With this in mind the study will seek …

Putting It All Together: Bringing Interdisciplinary Research To The Practice Of Designing Interactive Learning Tools, B. Sadler Takach, J. Daniels, C. Varnhagen

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Working within an interdisciplinary, collaborative context to bring research into design practice offers both challenges and opportunities in building strategic alliances for a common purpose, integrating methods of research, and transferring or translating the resulting knowledge into action. Integrating multiple methods requires an iterative, complementary approach to the design of research, characterised by the need for effective communicative strategies throughout the process. Two of the responsibilities inherent in applied research are to undertake useful research and to report it in ways that are accessible to people working in different disciplines, and usable in practice. We centre our discussion on three …

Human Factors Considerations In Human-Webpad Interaction – A Discussion On Color Application, C-H. Chen, Y-T. Chen, B-C. Chiou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of color in human-Webpad interaction based on a model of human factors. Color is a prominent and prevailing visual stimulus encountered by humans daily. It affects how humans process information perceptually and cognitively. Four important design issues pertaining to the model of human factors, i.e., issues concerning humans, Webpad technology, user interface, and environment, are discussed in this paper. The authors hope that this discussion can be utilized to improve the applications of color in Webpad user interface design and, at the same time, point us towards the right direction …

Integrating The World’S Most Effective Creative Design Strategies, D. Mann

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paper examines the broad range of methods, tools and strategies available to designers and attempts to distill the best of each in a bid to generate a coherent, ‘systematic creative design’ philosophy. Although using the Soviet-originated Theory of Inventive problem Solving, TRIZ as its foundation, the proposed design method also encompasses elements of, amongst others, QFD, Design for X, Value Engineering, Axiomatic Design and Robust Design. The paper describes the ongoing process of integrating these methods and reviews their deployment on a broad spectrum of real engineering design case studies.

The Promethean, Volume 11, Number 01, Fall/Winter 2002, English Department, Concordia University-Portland

The Promethean

This issue of the Promethean marks several changes in the journal's look and mission. In keeping with the convention of many literary journals, we have moved to a half-page format and standardized our layout so that the focus is on the written words our contributors have shared. The decision to feature artwork only on the cover was difficult, and we hope that our planned website will provide students with an opportunity to share their talents on-line. We are also featuring, in this issue and in forthcoming fall/winter issues, the winners of our themed essay contest. This fall the contest asked …

Ashrai: A Savings-Led Model For Fighting Poverty And Discrimination, Brett Matthews, Ahsan Ali [email protected]

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

Ashrai is getting results with a savings-led model among minority peoples in northwest Bangladesh. These people are mostly landless and illiterate, and earn about $50 a year per person. They are a vital population segment that microfinance institutions in Bangladesh and elsewhere are unable to serve successfully. Ashrai began its field work ten years ago by replicating Grameen Bank, but rapidly learned from its clients that they needed savings at least at much as loans, flexible loan repayment schedules structured around seasonal cash flow, and an easing of the requirement that loans be for productive purposes. Ashrai takes an innovative …
