In this episode of Campus Conversations, we delve into the fascinating world of design through Donald Norman’s seminal book, The Design of Everyday Things. Join host Shiva and guests Anvitha, Manikanta, and Dhakshitha as they uncover the secrets of intuitive design and share relatable stories—like fumbling with uncooperative doors, confusing coffee machines, and puzzling microwave controls.
From understanding affordances and signifiers to tackling bad mapping and poor feedback, this episode highlights how great design simplifies life while flawed design frustrates it. Packed with humor, campus anecdotes, and pop culture references, it’s a fun yet insightful exploration of how design shapes our daily experiences.
Tune in to discover why, as Norman says, “When people make errors, blame the design, not the user.” Start seeing the world with a designer’s eye!
