Glossary graphical user interface – графиче- ский интерфейс пользователя (разновидность пользовательско- го интерфейса, в котором эле- менты интерфейса (меню, кноп- ки, значки, списки и т.д.), пред- ставленные пользователю на дис- плее, исполнены в виде графиче- ских изображений) corporate identity – марка фирмы (престиж, репутация); фирмен- ный стиль (набор визуальных, словесных и т.д. констант, обеспечивающий стилистическое единство товаров, услуг и всей исхо- дящей от фирмы информации) process design – разработка про- изводственного или технологиче- ского процесса; технологическая подготовка производства concept designer – разработчик концептуальных решений web designer – разработ- чик/дизайнер web-страниц Exercises Design as a process Design as a process can take many forms depending on the object being designed and the individual or individuals participating. Design underpins every form of creation from objects such as chairs to the way we plan and execute our lives. For this reason it is useful to seek out some common structure that can be applied to any kind of design, whether this be for video games, consumer products or one's own personal life. For such an important concept, the question “What is Design? ” appears to yield answers with limited usefulness. Dino Dini, video game developer states that the design process can be defined as “The management of constraints”. He identifies two kinds of constraint, negotiable and non-negotiable. The first step in the design process is the identification, classification and selection of constraints. The process of design then proceeds from here by manipulating design variables so as to satisfy the non-negotiable constraints and optimizing those which are negotiable. It is possible for a set of non-negotiable constraints to be in conflict resulting in a design with no solution; in this case the non-negotiable constraints must be revised. For example, take the design of a chair. A chair must support a certain weight to be useful, and this is a non-negotiable constraint. The cost of producing the chair might be another. The choice of materials and the aesthetic qualities of the chair might be negotiable. Dino Dini theorizes that poor designs occur as a result of mismanaged constraints. There is also a concept of redesign. Something that is redesigned requires a different process than something that is designed for the first time. A redesign often includes an evaluation of the existent design and the findings of the redesign needs are often the ones that drive the redesign process. Glossary The management of constraints – теория ограничений (theory of constraints) – популярная концеп- ция менеджмента, разработан- ная в 80-х гг. XX в. Теория предлагает концентрировать организационные ресурсы на устранении ограничений (конфликтов), которые мешают компании полностью реализовать её потенциал. Позволяет успешно разрешать множество противоречий: меж- ду сроками и качеством, стоимостью и затратами, требуемой производительностью и имеющимися ресурсами redesign – реконструкция, пере- делка, модернизация, переработка Exercises Approaches to design There are countless philosophies for guiding design as the design values and its accompanying aspects within modern design vary, both between different schools of thought and among practicing designers. Design philosophies are usually for determining design goals. A design goal may range from solving the least significant individual problem of the smallest element, to the most holistic influential utopian goals. Design goals are usually for guiding design. However, conflicts over immediate and minor goals may lead to questioning the purpose of design, perhaps to set better long term or ultimate goals. A design philosophy is a guide to help make choices when designing such as ergonomics, costs, economics, functionality and methods of re-design. An example of a design philosophy is “dynamic change” to achieve the elegant or stylish look you need. A design approach is a general philosophy that may or may not include a guide for specific methods. Some are to guide the overall goal of the design. Other approaches are to guide the tendencies of the designer. A combination of approaches may be used if they don't conflict. Some popular approaches include: · KISS principle, (Keep it Simple Stupid, etc.), which strives to eliminate unnecessary complications; · There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI), a philosophy to allow multiple methods of doing the same thing; · Use-centered design, which focuses on the goals and tasks associated with the use of the artifact, rather than focusing on the end user; · User-centered design, which focuses on the needs, wants, and limitations of the end user of the designed artifact. Glossary holistic – целостный, глобальный Kiss principle – принцип «не ус- ложняй»; «кисс-принцип» (прин- цип упрощения конструкции или работы) ergonomics – эргономика (изучение трудовых процессов и условий труда, а также возможности человека при выполнении различных видов работ) Use-centered design – дизайн, со- средоточенный на цели User-centered design – дизайн, со- средоточенный на потребителе
Methods of design Design methods is a broad area that focuses on: · exploring possibilities and constraints by focusing critical thinking skills to research and define problem spaces for existing products or services or the creation of new categories (brainstorming); · redefining the specifications of design solutions which can lead to better uidelines for traditional design activities (graphic, industrial, architectural, etc.); · managing the process of exploring, defining, creating artifacts continually over time; · prototyping possible scenarios, or solutions that incrementally or significantly improve the inherited situation; · trendspotting; understanding the trend process. In philosophy, the abstract noun “design” refers to a pattern with a purpose. Design is thus contrasted with purposelessness, randomness, or lack of complexity. To study the purpose of designs, beyond individual goals (e.g. marketing, technology, education, entertainment, hobbies), is to question the controversial politics, morals, ethics and needs. “Purpose” may also lead to existential questions such as religious morals and teleology. These philosophies for the “purpose of” designs are in contrast to philosophies for guiding design or methodology. Often a designer (especially in commercial situations) is not in a position to define purpose. Whether a designer is, is not, or should be concerned with purpose or intended use beyond what they are expressly hired to influence, is debatable, depending on the situation. In society, not understanding or disinterest in the wider role of design might also be attributed to the commissioning agent or client, rather than the designer. In structuration theory, achieving consensus and fulfillment of purpose is as continuous as society. Raised levels of achievement often lead to raised expectations. Design is both medium and outcome, generating a Janus-like face, with every ending marking a new beginning.
Glossary brainstorming – «мозговая ата- ка/штурм» (форма поиска реше- ния сложной проблемы, приме- няемая в случаях, когда решение трудно найти обычными мето- дами или когда его необходимо найти быстро) incremental – возрастающий, поднимающийся, увеличивающийся trendspotting – анализ трендов, тенденций randomness – случайность; произвольность structuration theory – теория структурации (according to it, all human action is performed within the context of a pre-existing social structure which is governed by a set of norms and/or laws which are distinct from those of other social structures. Therefore, all human action is at least partly predetermined based on the varying contextual rules under which it occurs. However, the structure and rules are not permanent and external, but sustained and modified by human action) Exercises 1.

Graphic design
Graphic design, also known as communication design, is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. The form of the communication can be physical or virtual, and may include images, words, or graphic forms. The experience can take place in an instant or over a long period of time. The work can happen at any scale, from the design of a single postage stamp to a national postal signage system, or from a company’s digital avatar to the sprawling and interlinked digital and physical content of an international newspaper. It can also be for any purpose, whether commercial, educational, cultural, or political. The term “graphic design” can refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines which focus on visual communication and presentation. Various methods are used to create and combine symbols, images and/or words to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce the final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated. Common uses of graphic design include magazines, advertisements and product packaging. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements. While Graphic Design as a discipline has a relatively recent history, graphic design-like activities span the history of humankind: from the caves of Lascaux, to Rome's Trajan's Column to the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, to the dazzling neons of Ginza. In both this lengthy history and in the relatively recent explosion of visual communication in the XXth and XXIst centuries, there is sometimes a blurring distinction and over-lapping of advertising art, graphic design and fine art. After all, they share many of thesame elements, theories, principles, practices and languages, and sometimes the same benefactor or client. In advertising art the ultimate objective is the sale of goods and services. In graphic design, “the essence is to give order to information, form to ideas, expression and feeling to artifacts that document human experience”. During the Tang Dynasty (618–906) between the IVth and VIIth century A.D. wood blocks were cut to print on textiles and later to reproduce Buddhist texts. A Buddhist scripture printed in 868 is the earliest known printed book. Beginning in the XIth century, longer scrolls and books were produced using movable type printing making books widely available during the Song dynasty (960–1279). Sometime around 1450, Johann Gutenberg's printing press madebooks widely available in Europe. The book design of Aldus Manutius developed the book structure which would become the foundation of western publication design. This era of graphic design is called Humanist or Old Style. Glossary benefactor – благодетель dazzle –1) ослепление, ослепитель- ный блеск, сверкание (вызываю- щие потерю или притупление зрения) (dazzle light – ослепляющий свет, dazzle of headlights — слепящее действие фар); 2) блеск, яркость, великолепие (amidst the tumult and the dazzle of their busy life – среди суматохи и блеска их беспокойной жизни); 3) нанесение камуфляжной окраски (на корабль) distinction – различие diverse – разнообразный to focus (on) – сосредоточиться (на), помещаться в фокусе, соби- раться logo (logotype) – 1) полигр. – логотип (шрифт, каждая литера ко- торого состоит из нескольких букв); 2) фирменный или товар- ный знак; 3) эмблема (графиче- ский символ); (рекламный) девиз (на упаковке и т.д.) scroll – свиток to spin – кружить, вертеть ultimate – последний, окончательный Lascaux – the setting of a complex of caves in southwestern France famous for its Paleolithic cave paintings Exercises 1.

Interior design Fig.4. Interior design (living-room) Interior design is a multi-faceted profession in which creative and technical solutions are applied within a structure to achieve a built interior environment. These solutions are functional, enhance the quality of life and culture of the occupants, and are aesthetically attractive. Designs are created in response to and coordinated with code and regulatory requirements, and encourage the principles of environmental sustainability. The interior design process follows a systematic and coordinated methodology, including research, analysis and integration of knowledge into the creative process, whereby the needs and resources of the client are satisfied to produce an interior space that fulfills the project goals. The work of an interior designer draws upon many disciplines including environmental psychology, architecture, product design, and traditional decoration (aesthetics and cosmetics). They plan the spaces of almost every type of building including: hotels, corporate spaces, schools, hospitals, private residences, shopping malls, restaurants, theaters, and airport terminals. Today, interior designers must be attuned to architectural detailing including floor plans, home renovations, and construction codes. Some interior designers are architects as well. There is a wide range of disciplines within the career of interior design. Domestically the profession of interior design encompasses those designers who may specialize in residential or commercial interior design. Within residential design one can specialize in kitchen and bathroom design, universal design, design for the aged, multifamily housing amongst others. Other interior designers may dwell in the commercial or contract realm of interior space design. In addition to the above commercial interior designers may specialize in furniture design, healthcare design, hospitality design, retail design, workspace design, sustainability, and if they are a registered architect they can focus on the interior architecture of a space. It is the intent of the professional interior designer to improve the psychological and/or physiological well being of their clients. The professional interior designer achieves this by understanding their clients′ needs, seeking appropriate solutions, respect their clients social, physical and psychological needs and applying them in a safe and ecologically sensitive manner that promotes the health, safety and welfare of the clients. Interior decoration deals with the home renovations that can be easily and quickly changed, and at lower budgets such as changing kitchen cabinets, selecting wall paper, selecting furniture and usually does not deal with structural building codes. An interior decorator does not need a degree, but may have a diploma or certificate in interior decorating, while an interior designer would have a four year degree in interior design. Glossary multi-faceted – разносторонний enhance – увеличивать, усиливать, улучшать (особое качество, значимость, ценность, важность, привлекательность чего-либо) environmental psychology – экологическая психология, психология влияния на человека факторов окружающей среды to be attuned to – настроенный, приспособленный, гармоничный residential design – проектирова- ние, дизайн жилых помещений retail design – дизайн магазинов hospitality design – дизайн гости- ниц и ресторанов, развлекатель- ных учреждений (клубов, казино и т.д.) healthcare design – дизайн интерьеров учреждений здравоохранения Exercises Kinds of interior A. Residential interiors. Residential interiors are obviously much freer and much more personal for both the interior designer and the occupants than other types of interiors. In fact, homes that have been designed unconsciously by creative occupants without any standard decorative rules are often the most beautiful ones. Certain planning and functional considerations are constant in any residence, and, although these too may be ignored by the occupant who wishes to be strongly individualistic, they can provide at least basic guidelines. The planning of modern houses or apartments must take into consideration the location of certain needs in relation to others. The dining space should be near the food-preparation area, and the food-preparation area should be accessible to the entrance used to bring in food supplies and remove waste. Access to children’s sleeping areas should not be through the adults’ living spaces. Access to bathrooms should be close to the bedroom areas and should not be through living or dining spaces. The furniture arrangement for a living space must take into account the occupant’s life-style and preferences. If a space is planned for young people, no seating might be provided other than the floor, but, for the more conservative or older occupants, comfortable seating for conversation and other activities is essential. Open-plan houses (living, dining, eating facilities without separate rooms) work splendidly and beautifully for some people but might not be the ideal answer for a family with many children and a desire for privacy at the same time. The special storage needs that must be considered for many homes vary from bookshelves to storage areas for bicycles, from facilities for recorded music to storage of sporting equipment. Such facilities can often be added by interior designers, if not provided by the architect. There are several types of residence, and each one may require a different approach, partially based on economic considerations. The private house owned by the occupant warrants not only built-in designs and other permanent design features (lighting, flooring, etc.) but, in general, lends itself naturally to anything within the imagination of the designer and the budget of the owner. Cooperative apartments are prevalent in larger cities, and those that are bought outright by the owners can be designed and changed as long as the structure of the building is not tampered with. A different approach is usually called for in rented apartments or houses. Major changes and special furniture and other built-in features would be considered a poor investment by the client and would, as a rule, be frowned upon by the landlords. In the past, professional help for residences has been basically reserved for wealthy clients. The residences involved were often status symbols, and the furnishings were to a large extent traditional furnishings and antiques. The best of such ornately designed homes are authentic, museum-like interiors, which indeed only the very affluent can afford. Today, instead of being limited to the service of the wealthy, the designer has a widening and important opportunity in a totally different aspect of residential interiors: mass housing and low-income housing. Such designers, as well as helping to create more liveable spaces for those with limited housing budgets, can also be of great help in assisting occupants to choose simple, sturdy, attractive, and functional furnishings. A major problem for many people, on a variety of income levels, is the high cost of furnishings; mistakes in judgment are too costly to be discarded and thus must be endured. The help of professionals can minimize this problem and also protect low-income families from being induced to buy installment-plan furnishings of poor quality and design. Glossary open-plan house – «дом открытой планировки» (с большими комна- тами, окна выходят на обе сто- роны здания) to tamper with – вмешиваться, портить affluent – изобильный, обильный; богатый induced – вынужденный installment-plan – покупка в рас- срочку B. Public interiors. Although many designers are engaged in residential interior design, there has been a marked shift away from that field since 1950, and more designers than ever work in the design of public, institutional, and commercial spaces. Space planning for business firms, governmental agencies, and institutions is a significant aspect of office design and is concerned primarily with planning, allocation of spaces, and interrelations between offices, departments, and individuals. The aesthetic or design phase varies with the degree of importance attached to offices by the clients. In a large firm, the clerical, accounting, or filing areas tend to be well designed in terms of lighting, efficiency, space, and function but have few frills or design features. The executive offices, reception areas, and conference rooms, on the other hand, are frequently elaborately and luxuriously designed, since they serve as images for the corporations as well as status symbols for their occupants. Decisions relating to size of offices and their furnishings are basically arrived at through functional considerations. An executive frequently must seat groups of people in his office. A department manager or clerk will rarely need more than one or two extra chairs. A rather recent innovation in office design is known as office landscape. The system was developed in the 1960s by a German team of planning and management consultants offered the idea not to build the traditional permanent walls and private offices but to arrange a large open space in a purely functional plan. Divisions between people and departments are created by free-standing screens, and plants are often used to divide and enhance space. Office landscape has been used in several major installations in the United States, following considerable popularity in Europe. Glossary сlerical – канцелярский, контор- ский filing area – помещение/зона для хранения документов frill – роскошь, излишества, не- нужные украшения office landscape – дизайн офисного помещения C. Governmental interiors. A notable characteristic of interior design for public buildings – such as court rooms, assembly halls, city halls, and cultural buildings – is that the consumer is excluded from participation in decision making. Another is that in all cases the interiors try to present a very definite image or symbol. Governmental buildings, especially in the past, were designed to present a solemn, aweinspiring, majestic, and even slightly ominous look, both in their architectural composition and their interior treatment of spaces. For centuries, marble, stone, lofty ceilings, and imposing architectural elements have been traditional. D. Institutional interiors. Schools, hospitals, and universities are examples of institutions now extensively using the services of interior designers and architects. Certain institutional needs, such as operating rooms in hospitals, are strictly functional, yet the patients’ rooms and many other hospital facilities are very much within the scope of interior design. Until recently, however, such involvement was not prevalent, and it has been common to refer to a sterile, dull-looking space as “looking like a hospital”. A greater recognition of the influence of the environment upon human behaviour has brought about increased emphasis on interior design for all kinds of institutional interiors. Indeed, even though up to now little work has been done by designers in penal institutions, it is a safe prediction that in a short time there will be considerable concern for the environmental qualities of these institutions, as well. E. Commercial interiors. Contemporary designers are much involved with commercial spaces – such as stores, hotels, motels, and restaurants. Many designers and design firms specialize in highly specific spaces such as restaurants, and others may become specialists in the design of showrooms for the garment industry. Frequently, the design of a restaurant, shop, or hotel must be keyed to a theme. It might be a nautical theme for a yacht club or a theme based on the artifacts of the particular region in which a hotel is located. Obviously, all commercial spaces must be designed in a highly functional way. A store with a beautifully designed interior will fail if it does not work for circulation of customers, for display, for storage, and above all for sales. Some of these functional needs create difficult design problems. A hotel or motel room, for instance, must be designed for use by individuals, couples, and family groups. Maintenance is also an important factor in the design of commercial spaces. F. Religious interiors. Religious architecture is heavily influenced by symbolic concepts as well as by the ritual and traditions of a particular faith. Designers of religious interiors must, therefore, base their approach on a set of rules preceding all other design considerations. The simple and modest Quaker prayer-houses, for instance, express the tenets of that faith as clearly as some of the richly appointed Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. G. Industrial interiors. Industrial interiors do not usually involve interior designers. There are, of course, many industrial spaces, such as workshops, laboratories, and factories, that have been planned by architects and designers, and there are a few that have stressed some aesthetic considerations. By and large, however, industrial interiors are created as strictly functional spaces. For this very reason, some of these spaces are quite beautiful. This may sound paradoxical, but, like the modern bridge or airplane, they can be extremely handsome without the conscious attempt to create beauty. H. Special interiors. There are many kinds of special interiors that at times fall within the larger field of environmental design and that do not fit into a particular category or even a professional subspecialty. Transportation design may be part engineering, part industrial design, part architecture, and part interior design. Interiors of ships are certainly interior design, but the interiors of automobiles, aircraft, and trains are often a combination of many specialties. The advent of large commercial aircraft has taken the aircraft interior out of the area of the strictly functional, and, indeed, the introduction of these large planes has seen an intense competition among the airlines to create spaces that go beyond the concept of mere seating. Also included in transportation design are the terminal buildings associated with air, road, and water transportation systems. A less spectacular example is the field of exhibition design, another area of design having interfaces with other fields, including, in this case, graphics and advertising. Related to this field are museum design and exhibition and the preservation and restoration of historic buildings. It is clear that any man-made interior or exterior space is influenced by design or its absence. More important than a listing of the various kinds of spe cial interiors is the underlying fact that designers are becoming involved in all aspects of the environment. Glossary Популярное: |
