Human-Centric Design

Designing products is so complex but I am so incredibly amazed by the ideas people come up with. Watching videos from TED (Technology, Environment Design) I came across David Kelly's design of a store for Prada. Its amazing how truly into the mind of the customer they got. The dressing rooms with video delayed projections so when you turn around you can see your back and know what you actually look like from all 360degrees.
These types of ideas are what takes design to the next level. I am continuously learning to develop my design skills but I truly appreciate those who are already designers. When you come across a design that makes you say, "Wow, that is just what I always wanted but never realized it," you know you have really come up with a great idea. A young designer can only really hope that they get the opportunity to come up with something that great.
I think about my small ideas and these things that I think would make a good design, or a make good concepts but never know if they would really excite people. I suppose a designer really just needs to believe in themselves, keep an open mind, and continue to really watch and understand people in order to have a chance to make something outstanding.
