\n Learning Goal: <\/b>I’m working on a creative writing writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Read a chapter or two from the book “Disability Visibility” that interests you, and While you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re reading, watch for examples of the concepts we covered in class. <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Here are the concepts we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll use for this essay:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The definition of design that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re using for this class. If you want a reminder, look up Herbert Simon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s definition of design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • The 3 roles of design: user, maker, and designer. Pay attention to how these roles affect each other. For example, how do the user\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s needs and desires affect the designer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s choices? How do they affect the maker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s working conditions? Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Step 2: Pick a Design<\/h2>\n

      Pick a design from your chapter. Devices or tools are the easiest options, but you could also choose something else, like a building, a movie prop or a new manufacturing material.<\/p>\n

      Step 3: Write a short essay<\/h2>\n

      Write a short, informal essay about this topic. Imagine you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re writing this for a friend who isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t studying design. You can use informal, conversational language. But you also need to include enough information that your friend understands what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re saying.<\/p>\n

      Your essay should be 750-1250 words long<\/u><\/strong>, and it should include this information:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The name of the book you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re reading, and the chapter(s) you chose for this assignment. Pick a design from your chapter. Tell us about it. What is it? What does it do?<\/li>\n
      • In your own words, what is the definition of design that we are using for this class? How does our definition of design apply to the design from your book? What is the situation? How does the design improve the situation?<\/li>\n
      • For this design, who is the designer? Who is the maker? Who is the user? Describe their experiences. How do these roles influence each other?<\/li>\n
      • Finally, evaluate the design. What makes it a good design? What makes it a bad one? Did it completely solve a problem, or is there room for improvement? Did it solve one problem, but create other problems?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Step 4: Evaluate your work<\/h2>\n

        This is your checklist to make sure you’ve included all of the important stuff. It will also help us find everything when we grade your assignment. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll use something like it for all of our deliverables.<\/p>\n

        Highlight the important stuff.<\/h3>\n

        Read through your assignment. Use your word-processor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highlighter tool to mark these things:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The title of your book<\/li>\n
        2. The title of the chapter(s) you read<\/li>\n
        3. A description of the design you chose<\/li>\n
        4. How our definition of design applies to this design<\/li>\n
        5. A description of the user, maker and designer<\/li>\n
        6. Your analysis of the design. How is it good? How is it bad?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Some of these sections may be several sentences long. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry about highlighting the whole thing. Just highlight the first few words, or the first sentence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
