Designing for the User: Inclusive Design

Dur 35 mins/ KS 3-5/ Produced 2010

How do designers create products that meet user need and are inclusive? The two examples, drawn from: Resistant Materials (Children's bikes) and Graphics (mobile phone box/manual) show how designers: determine their market; consider users' values and needs; use ergonomic and anthropometric data and respond to the challenges of demographic change and inclusive design.

The DVD also contains extensive teachers notes and student activities and research tools written by the Design Council and the RCA Helen Hamlyn Centre.
