Effects of Idea Sketching and Storyboards on the Design of Playground Equipment

抄録

Design spans a wide range from the design of things, which targets color and form of products, to the design of experiences, which targets user experience in systems and services in recent year. In the design of things, many display techniques such as sketching and prototyping have been utilized to obtain optimal designs. Although the importance of display techniques is also recognized in the design of experiences, the techniques used in the design of experiences are often considered as applications of techniques used in the design of things. This study aims to help development of effective display techniques by clarifying the role and impact of the display techniques in the design of experiences. Specifically, the effect of design sketching, which is often used for product design, is compared to the effect of storyboarding, which is often used for animation production, in design exercises for college students with the theme of playground equipment.
