Tag: Inclusive Design
Inclusive design is a human-centred process (not restricted to interfaces or technologies) in which a product, service or environment is optimised for a specific user with specific needs.
Usually, this user is an extreme user, meaning that this user has specific needs that are sometimes overseen with other design processes.
By focusing on the extreme users, Inclusive design will enable them to be able to use it, while a lot of users that are having (temporary) similar needs will also be covered.
This brilliant animation shows how severely restricted access can be for TfL customers with mobility impairments, luggage or bicycles.
A useful aide-mémoire when designing for inclusion, diversity or difference. You are not your user!
