What does human-centred design mean

Reference no: EM132594561

Assessment - Poster

This is an INDIVIDUAL, WRITTEN assessment. You are required to design an A2-sized poster to demonstrate your visualisation, summarising, prioritising and sythesising skills (these are key skills in Design Thinking!). An effective poster is a communication tool that utilises structure, graphics and text to clearly convey complex messages, while being visually appealing and engaging; text, albeit important, is used sparingly.

It is the responsibility of the poster designer to ensure the poster is self-explanatory and does not require extensive interpretation from the audience. In order to complete this assessment you are required to design a poster, which clearly addresses the following question:

What does 'human-centred design' mean and how does the Design Thinking process place the human at its centre?

To be successful in this assessment, you are required to research academic/scholarly (published peer reviewed journals) literature and make use of effective and suitable visualisation techniques in order to design a carefully constructed and logical poster, which clearly displays your answer to the above question.

More specifically your poster should:
• clearly address the question;
• be logically structured and aesthetically pleasing;
• refer to correct material you have read in the literature (you should include a MINIMUM of 3 scholarly references - in-text references and a reference list in APA style must be included on the poster; please see Moodie for some examples of how this can be achieved in a visually pleasing manner);
• present a clear and concise message (in title and other content);
• contain sufficient detail that a layperson (without specific background in Design Thinking) can understand what you are trying to say;
• use relevant visualisation techniques* to visually display the message and content of your poster; and
• use text sparingly (MAXIMUM of 300 words, excluding title and reference list, is permitted).

*NOTE: This may include graphics, but you need to remember that this does NOT mean cutting and pasting graphics from the internet or other sources

- plagiarism of visual content will be treated in the same manner as plagiarism of text. You must use ONE SINGLE PowerPoint slide as your poster (see the template on Moodie). For this unit, you do not have to print the poster but it has to be clearly visible on a standard-sized computer monitor once PowerPoint is set to 'Slide Show' mode. Please see Moodle for further advice on how to create, structure and design effective posters. Supporting material and additional advice is available in Moodie and during class times.

Assessment criteria:
• Demonstrated understanding of Design Thinking by providing correct information on the poster
• Demonstrated synthesis and summarising skills by displaying a clear and concise message on the poster
• Ability to effectively use visualisation techniques, structure, aesthetics and layout on the poster
• Demonstrate a breadth and depth of research by using a minimum of 3 academic sources
• Correct use of the APA referencing system
