    Exploring the mutual relationship between research and consultancy for a commercial design product in the area of communication design
    (International Institute of Informatics and Systemics, IIIS, 2017) Yıldırım, Yasemin; Orhun, Simge Esin; Communication Design; Callaos, N.; Sanchez, B.; Savoie, M.; Tremante, A.; YILDIRIM, Yasemin; ORHUN, Simge
    Due to challenges brought by the advancements in information technologies, transferring the knowledge and obtaining effective solutions in the early design process has gained importance, as it has become very difficult to obtain the desired efficiency and user satisfaction of any service of a product, if it has been developed in the methodological perspective of one discipline. This paper tries to explore the potential of the discipline of Communication Design (CoD) to provide consultation to engineers, with regard to its expertise on developing interactions and methodologies for the design of tools and products using advanced technology. For this purpose, a research was conducted with the aim of giving consultancy for the analysis of the efficiency of four kiosks located in Ozyegin University and four alternative user scenarios, which were developed in collaboration with CoD students in Interaction Design Ergonomics course of the 2015 Fall semester, were shared with the provider group. The outcomes brought by the relationship between research and consulting are discussed in terms of obtained achievements and benefits for researchers, design students as well as engineers.

    Invisible to visible: Identifying the emerging communication needs in the 'new normal' through design research
    (Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2021-01) Orhun, Simge Esin; Yıldırım, Yasemin; Communication Design; YILDIRIM, Yasemin; ORHUN, Simge
    The pandemic, which started at the end of 2019, has affected societies in their own socio-cultural contexts and altered the interactions of human beings through their use of personal spaces and objects. Changes in the design of a wide range of objects varying from small tools to urban furniture are anticipated, as the "new normal" will be fully established in the coming months and years. We believe that each individual is recognized to be affected by a different aspect of pandemic, which yielded the fact that for such cases the paradigm for design may shift to favor user needs more than maintaining usability. This study examined the personal behavioral transformations after the acceptance of "new normal" and the reflections on the design of everyday objects or spaces. We developed a design research method which guided the students, to turn inwards and relate with their needs that arouse in the pandemic period with one selected city narrative found in the novel Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino. In this method . From the analysis of 17 works based on abductive reasoning, two different categories were obtained: (i) 5 generic cases supported by user scenarios, (ii) 3 groups of artifacts interacted by analogue means.
