How inclusive methods can build elegant design solutions that work
for all.Sometimes designed objects reject their users: a computer
mouse that doesn't work for left-handed people, for example, or a
touchscreen payment system that only works for people who read
English phrases, have 20/20 vision, and use a credit card.
Something as simple as color choices can render a product unusable
for millions. These mismatches are the building blocks of
exclusion. In Mismatch, Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to
exclusion, and how design can also remedy exclusion. Inclusive
design methods--designing objects with rather than for excluded
users--can create elegant solutions that work well and benefit
all.Holmes tells stories of pioneers of inclusive design, many of
whom were drawn to work on inclusion because of their own
experiences of exclusion. A gamer and designer who depends on voice
recognition shows Holmes his ",Wall of Exclusion,", which displays
dozens of game controllers that require two hands to operate, an
architect shares her firsthand knowledge of how design can fail
communities, gleaned from growing up in Detroit's housing projects,
an astronomer who began to lose her eyesight adapts a technique
called ",sonification", so she can ",listen", to the
stars.Designing for inclusion is not a feel-good sideline. Holmes
shows how inclusion can be a source of innovation and growth,
especially for digital technologies. It can be a catalyst for
creativity and a boost for the bottom line as a customer base
expands. And each time we remedy a mismatched interaction, we
create an opportunity for more people to contribute to society in
meaningful ways.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
