1. Understanding People Damian Gordon

2. People in Design • There are lots of ways of understanding a person and how their various parts contribute to the whole person. • We are going to take a system view of things

3. People in Design • What is a system view?

4. People in Design • What is a system view? • The system is a box... System

5. People in Design • What is a system view? • The System has inputs... Inputs System

6. People in Design • What is a system view? • The System has outputs... Inputs Outputs System

7. People in Design • What is a system view? • and a number of interacting processing, that convert inputs into outputs. Outputs Inputs Process 1 Process 4 Process 2 Process 5 Process 3

8. People in Design • So how do this work for a person?

9. People in Design • So how do this work for a person?

10. People in Design • Exactly the same way

11. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs

12. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs Senses

13. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs Senses Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch

14. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs Senses Outputs Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch

15. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs Senses Outputs Activities Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch

16. People in Design • Exactly the same way Inputs Senses Outputs Activities Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch Fine Motor Control Gross Motor Control

17. People in Design • Exactly the same way Interacting Processes Inputs Senses Outputs Activities Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch Fine Motor Control Gross Motor Control

18. People in Design • Exactly the same way Interacting Processes Cognition Inputs Senses Outputs Activities Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch Fine Motor Control Gross Motor Control

19. People in Design • Exactly the same way Interacting Processes Cognition • Attention • Memory Learning Inputs Senses Outputs Activities Sight Hearing Taste Smell Touch Fine Motor Control Gross Motor Control
