VIDEO 1:Transformation from traditional magazines to electronic magazines
The two examples Tracy Ma gave made me understand that the content of new media is more extensive than traditional media, and it provides people with more choices.
With the help of new media, each user can be either the receiver or the transmitter of information. For example, viewers can participate in voting activities while reading magazines, but in traditional media, only the media can release information. This enables the new media to strengthen the interaction between the audience and the media.
At the same time, this is also a challenge facing our designers. We not only need to understand our users but also build our own interaction design skills. As Tracy Ma mentioned, graphics, drawing, programming, etc. are all indispensable skills for members of a design team.
VIDEO 2:Humanistic care in design——barrier-free design
Avatar Robot Café has shown me the possibility of future design. When such a design that can solve work problems for the disabled appears, I have to think about the meaning of design. The daily life we take for granted is a huge challenge for the disabled. After the release of the iphone12, I watched a lot of review videos, and one of them was a blogger’s discussion about the amplifier software update, which made me realize “accessibility of mobile phones for the disabled”for the first time.
The earlier you think about accessibility, the easier it will be
If you take into account accessibility requirements at the very beginning of product development (for example, use a disabled persona, Consider the use case of temporary barriers for mass users), and follow the existing barrier-free design and development specifications, you will not wait until the product is fully developed and found that “It’s tragic, disabled users can’t use it, how can we have time to redo it all?”
Accessibility will not only help the disabled, it will also help everyone
·The problems encountered by users with disabilities are an enlarged version of the problems that everyone encounters. Taking barrier-free as a perspective to discover potential problems can bring more practical technological innovations and promote technological development.
Finally, I recommend everyone to watch this video about iPhone barrier-free design. The first step in barrier-free design is to call on the whole society to pay attention to accessibility. If you want to do something for accessibility, please do your best to appeal and preach.
