1. What is the major benefit of saving time?
You can use the saved time in other activities.
2. How do designers integrate time into their products?
There are hundreds of ways of adding time to their products, one of them is by adding a clock to a computer. But in this case, integrating time means making the time you spend with a product worthwhile. For example many buttons or less buttons in a remote... you will spend less time trying to find the function you want in a remote with less buttons.
3. Explain the relationship between making waiting shorter with making waiting more
tolerable .
Waiting on a line can be short or quick, but you could have spent that time doing anything else but waiting. But if you put a television for the people to watch, you will be making the time they're waiting more tolerable even though they will be waiting the same time.
4. How can you use your timeline to increase your own efficiency as a designer?
By divinding tasks and stipulating the time you will be spending on them. This way you will have to be quick to finish your tasks but at the same time you will be forced to be creative.
5. Briefly outline an event or activity in which you are adept at time saving?
Cooking. I always time everything and separate the ingredients in a way that I will take the less time possible to be eating the meal.
6. What part of your design process do you need to improve at, in terms of saving
time?
The "coming up with an idea" part. I tanke too long to think what am I going to do, but once I know what I have to do, it is quickly done.
Curious fact: The word "time" was used 16 TIMEs in this post, and one TIME as part of the word TIMEline. =D
I suggest reading through the chapter again Diego and looking for specific references to these questions. We discussed them at length in class also.
ReplyDeleteUse you blog to take notes directly in class. You only have one answer in here from class, you can use it in class then update it afterwards.
