What is Interaction???


The meaning of Interaction is a user when try to use a product or device that user daily use such as cell phone, laptop, mouse, ATM machine , car park ticket machine and endless product that are easy, comfortable, and enjoyable to use. Many products that require users to interact with them to carry out their tasks have not necessarily been designed with the users in mind, with these interaction experiment the designer know what is necessary and what is not that will help to improve the product to be more friendly user.





We can judge a product with good or bad interaction design based on user interaction experiment. A good design is based on how the user feel about the product and how well they use the product, with good interaction design ,the user will know how to use the product very well without reading the user manual. On the other hand, if the products with a bad interaction design, the user will feel uncomfortable with the product because it is very confusing and difficult to use.

Prototype

I learn about prototype in interaction class.Prototyping is the process of building a model of a system. Prototypes are employed to help system designers build an information system that intuitive and easy to manipulate for end users. It allow stakeholder to interact with an envisioned product, gain experience in realistic setting and explore imagined uses. The purpose of prototype is aid when discussing ideas with stakeholder, communication device among team members and effective way to test idea.







There have two type of prototype which is low fidelity prototyping and high fidelity prototyping. Low fidelity prototyping uses materials that are totally different from the intended final product such as storyboard, sketching and cardboard rather than electronic screens and metal. It should be simple, cheap and quick to produce for support the exploration of alternative designs and ideas.



High fidelity prototyping is the opposite of low fidelity prototyping. It uses material that almost the same of final product. For example if we have to do a prototype for a phone, in high fidelity prototyping we have to make an example model that using software almost same like the final product.






T-shirt design

T-shirt is a style of shirt and it does not have any button and collar. It usually with short sleeves and a round neck line. Most of people will choose t-shirt is because it is easy to wear and confortable. If a t-shirt without any design, it just looks empty.

Nowadays, people will see the design before buy any t-shirt. So, t-shirt design must be creative, because it can attract people to wear it. There have some of the example of creative t-shirt.

Packaging design

A packing of a product is equal to a image of the company and the product, it is a very important that as a designer a packing design must have the right colour, text, and the company logo. Before start to design the product package, we must know who is our target users, what kind of feeling that we want to represent for the customer and does it represent the company well.

Typography

Words are the direct way for us to see and understand what it trying to say or what message that is trying to send to us. In design there is a type of study that design creative words that is call typography. A typography without the element of colour and shape but it still can show a very interesting words that can attract people.

From my experience, although usually typography is just a sentence of words, but it can become few meaning when it apply with some special front and creativity. It is very interesting and fun when i was studying typography in my foundation class. A creative typography can change from a very simple and boring words become a very interesting and fun of words.

In the 21 century car is a need and a very common vehicle for everyone to travel. A car design is a very important for a driver, i can effect the user comfort, speed and attract the user from using the vehicle.
