The reading shifted my perspective on designing from focusing more on the functionality of the product, which is the norm, to focusing on the user of the product or what we are designing. I realized that designing an object or tool for the public requires you to have some consultations with other parties and we should invest more effort into how the user interacts with the product rather than the product design itself. The reading creates a concern though. Can this approach to focusing on the user’s interactions lead to a compromise in the quality or functionality of the work produced and how do we find the right balance between functionality and interactivity.
