Idag besöker vi inte lÀngre webbplatser enbart via datorer, utan Àven mobiltelefoner och surfplattor. För att göra interaktionen pÄ en webbplats anvÀndbar via flera olika plattformar blir det allt vanligare med responsiv anpassning. Denna utveckling stÀller högre krav pÄ den grafiska formgivaren som bör ha god kunskap om de plattformar som designen tillÀmpas pÄ för att nÄ högsta möjliga anvÀndbarhet. En grafisk formgivare ska alltsÄ förstÄ vad anvÀndbarhet innebÀr och hur denna kunskap ska tillÀmpas i designen. Kandidatarbetet undersöker vad som definierar anvÀndbarhet och vad grafisk design bidrar till i skapandet av responsiva webbplatser.

NÀr ett nytt databassystem ska tas fram och införas i en organisation ska funktioner och krav pÄ systemet identifieras och analyseras i en designprocess. Ett krav pÄ ett databassystem kan vara att systemet ska uppvisa en viss prestanda. Designprocessen leder sÄ smÄningom fram till fysisk design av databasen och dess applikationer. Det kan finnas flera olika lösningar för fysisk design av databasen och dess applikationer som tillgodoser kraven och funktionerna som ska finnas i systemet. Dessa olika lösningsalternativ ger olika prestanda.

The company Sound Precision has developed a new Line Array loudspeaker system (VHA-40). When using this system, their customers need computer aid to get the best possible sound-quality and control of sound levels for the whole audience. The aim of this thesis is to develop a truly useful sound quality simulator for the VHA-40. The system will help the sound engineers to position the loudspeakers for optimal sound by simulating loudspeaker configurations and visualizing the resulting sound quality and quantity. To solve this a human-centered design (HCD) approach is taken to implement a system that is truly useful for the users, meaning that they will use it more and hence deliver better sound for the audience.

The outset of this thesis is to raise questions on how we design for the mobile context and the capabilities of smartphones. Not only the presentation but also the use of input and interaction between a service and a user.This work evolves around sign up forms and answers the question: How does the sign up process affect the holistic perspective of a digital service regarding usability and user experience? This thesis consists of a case studies, and design experiments conducted on Twitter, Instagram and Randos sign up processes to explore if and how the usability, and the user experience could be affected and im- proved.This concluded some important aspects to be considered when designing sign up forms for a digital service.The usability, and the user experience is not only affected by user interaction, and the choice of input method but it?s also affected by which data the service is requesting, and more important; if that data is motivated to request by the service..

Jag kommer i denna uppsats beskriva den designprocess som pÄgÄtt vid skapandet av en webbaserad informationsplattform frÄn koncept till slutprodukt.Mitt uppdrag har varit att effektivisera en webbyrÄs nuvarande sÀtt att hantera och sprida information pÄ, som bestod av en blandning mellan digital och analog information, och skapa en ny webbaserad informationsplattform. Den nya webbaserade informationsplattformen ska kunna samla all information pÄ en plats och skapa ett effektivare informationsutbyte mellan de anstÀllda pÄ företaget.Jag har anvÀnt mig av tvÄ teoretiska ramverk; Nielsens tio heuristics samt Krugs visuella design hierarki.Jag har arbetat nÀra bestÀllaren för att kunna skrÀddarsy webbplatsen till deras behov.Resultatet efter ett omfattande arbete med designmallar och front-end kodning blev grunden för webbyrÄns webbaserade informationsplattform, utvecklad för att effektivisera spridningen av information pÄ företaget..

I chose to do this work because I believe that today?s industrial designprofessionals lack in their task of creating aesthetic experiences and aestheticdiversity.With my work, I want to question why the majority of today?s technical, massproducedeveryday products have such a similar design expression, andwhy alternatives are so few. Most of all, I take a critical attitude to today?sstereotypical industrial design aesthetics that I would describe as technical,masculine, and unnecessarily complex.I have designed a number of products that show alternative aesthetics in thissegment and as such I have chosen the vacuum cleaner. The idea is that mydesign will serve as an eye opener and demonstrate that there are alternativesto today?s homogeneous market.The result is three vacuum cleaners claiming three alternatives to currentofferings.

Denna rapport redogör för skapandet av varumÀrket Deco Retro. Samt den tillhörandedesignprocessen för att skapa en visuell identitet och profil för varumÀrket. VarumÀrketDeco Retro togs fram som ett undervarumÀrke till Kitsch Sweden AB som behövde ettvarumÀrke som passade deras nuvarande och framtida produkter. Deco Retro ska bidra meden stÀrkt identitet och vÀrde för de produkter som ska sÀljas under varumÀrket. Designarbetetkring varumÀrket strÀvade framförallt efter att kommunicera den idé, identitet och de vÀrdensom under projektet tagits fram för varumÀrket, samtidigt som det ska ha bidragit med enestetiskt tilltalande grafisk design.

This study is essentially based on my own questions concerning contemporary playgrounds. Why are they so unimaginative? What do the children say about them? Is it possible to create playgrounds less constructed, and with more natural elements? This report starts with references to literature studies, personal references and my personal view, and ends with a suggestion for a physical solution for an actual day care centre. The aim is to learn more about how the natural environment affects children, the importance of playing, and try to use this knowledge in a design of a day care centre. My main theme can be summarized in the following question: Why is natural elements in playgrounds considered to be healthy for children? I wanted to create a playground with natural characteristics which I myself would have appreciated as a child.

Competition in the market of interior design during the last several years has drastically increased. The consumers of today are very conscious about what the market can offer and therefore they have high demands on the products. It is not only the function of the product that matters but also the design that makes a difference. Companies are becoming more aware of this and as a result they have to find a way to set themselves apart in order to attract customers. This realization has led designers and economists to cooperate in a different way than before.

This paper examines the opportunities and challenges of integrating conservation practice and the circular economy into practical planning processes. In recent years, the discussion of circular economy and its relevance in the sustainability debate has intensified. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, the transition to a circular economy is crucial to achieving the national and international environmental and climate goals as well as the global goals in Agenda 2030. Parallel to this, there is a long established heritage discourse that emphasizes the importance of preserving buildings and cultural environments as part of our cultural heritage. These two discourses have common goals, but they differ in how they present their respective arguments.

This report presents the development process of a mobile interface for the C2-monitor. A monitoring tool used to support the operations for the broadcasting services of Ericsson Broadcasting and Media Services (EBMS). With the support of the C2-monitor, operators can monitor hundreds of channels and services produced from EBMS. To enhance a more flexible working environment, the C2-monitor needs to be developed further to support mobile devices with a customized design to take advantage of mobile phones features and functionality. Established and well-recognized design methods and principles have been applied in the development process and user testing have been made iteratively throughout the project.

MÄlet med mitt examensarbete har varit att skapa en produkt som underlÀttar hÄllbar matlagning - hÄllbar för miljö och hÀlsa. I denna uppsats redogör jag för de beslut jag fattat i min designprocess.UtifrÄn intervjuer, ITK (Identity Tool Kit) och research om Àmnet, blev det tydligare för mig vad hÄllbar matlagning kunde innebÀra. Jag beslutade att arbeta vidare med Ängkokning, en metod som bland annat bevarar nÀringsÀmnen pÄ ett bra sÀtt.Jag har utvÀrderat marknadens utbud av Ängkokare och i observationer studerat matlagningsprocessen och vilka problem som kan uppstÄ.Resultatet blev Fume, en Ängkokare som erbjuder matlagning pÄ höjden, samtidigt som den krÀver smÄ ytor vid förvaring..

ABSTRACT So?derqvist, J. 2015. Ja?msta?lldhetsperspektivet i den fysiska planeringen.

Design principles are usually used by interaction designers to help creating a user friendly design by making the designer think about the different aspects of the design. These design principles has been further developed since they emerged in the 1990s, and today they're often used in the field of interaction design. By using the design principles, bad design can be avoided and the frustration of the user reduced. Design patterns is described as structural and behavioral characteristics to improve the environment in user interface amongst other areas. These characteristics could make things easier to understand or improve their appearance, they make tools more usable.The purpose with this essay is to identify design guidelinesto be used by developers when designing surveillance systems.
