I am very interested in the project “voted fraud is a hoax” in which Tracy participated.

This project is published through the Internet, and with the sliding of the user’s webpage, a series of tweets sent by trump will appear, and the arrangements are very complicated and disordered.  

People can eliminate his tweets by moving the mouse, just like erasing them with their hands.

Through this project,

  • I understand that we can further optimize people’s online reading experience through interactive means. If we can interact in the process of reading, readers’ immersion and reading interest will be enhanced.

But at the same time, we are facing the problem of technical support. We should continue to learn new knowledge – Writing code.

  • Moreover, through her design process, I also reflected on the importance of research, which is also a process of thinking and inspiration collection.

At the same time, under the influence of the current environment, the epidemic situation makes electronic publications more popular.

This also makes me realize that when most people face difficulties, we will take actions to solve the problems, such as upgrading traditional publications to electronic publications.

But when a few people face difficulties, does our design have humanistic care? Should we pay more attention to design for a few people?

And Avatar Robot Cafe shows me humanistic care for the disabled. It makes full use of technology to increase employment opportunities for the disabled.

  • As designers, we should have a sense of social responsibility and consider both physical and psychological aspects to help the disabled live a better and more convenient life and realize their personal values.

In a word, through watching the videos and reading article , I summed up the following three personal views:

1. The output of design should enhance the interaction with people

2. Pay attention to design research, which may be the source of inspiration

3. Design should pay more attention to humanistic care

At the end of the blog, I still want to ask a question:

Is it suitable for everyone to add more interactive means in the process of transforming traditional publications into electronic publications? From the perspective of humanistic care, should we pay more attention to the elderly’s acceptance of electronic publications?

In the future, I will use such questions to judge my design.
