Control Redesign

This exercise involved the redesign of a real-world control in order to provide feedforward and feedback to support intuitive interaction.


Solution
The final product was 8.5” x 13” poster printed and mounted and CD cover. The poster communicates a redesign for deadbolt locks. Current thumbturn designs rely on memory and convention, the redesign leverages the visual state to indicate the affordances of the door.

Collaborators
Advised by John Zimmerman.

Methods
Iterative design
