An Exercise to Warm-up
Design is a user-centric process and Prof. Bapat was particularly keen on making the same deep impression in the young designer’s minds. Hence, he came up with an interesting assignment to kick start the 'Introduction to Product Design' course.
The assignment asked students to design a wash basin for specific users like – Shree Ganesh, Dashanan Ravan, Long Beard Sadhu, A Blind Man, Tom & Jerry, A Dentist, and A Muslim Woman in Public Space. The assignment not only freshen-up the start of the 'Introduction to Product Design' course but also unknowingly put some important questions in the young designer’s minds like:
• How will the proposed contraption be used by an extreme user?
• Who all will use it?
• What are his/her needs?
This was just an ideal beginning for the upcoming Introduction to Product Design assignments.
