Ergonomic Issues for Good Product Design

Chakrabarti D*

Perception of a good design, to a common buyer, is a concept that satisfies a functional reliability towards fulfilling a need. It rests on a complete trust feeling. The design is a creative ideation that requires a conscious application of technicality and aesthetics. An ergonomic design creates a context for an experience. When design features match with users’ characters of feeling to admire and possess, a design selection gets preference; people feel trust and the design becomes inviting to use without hesitation. Identity elements, embedded in the utility items as overall appearance, should anticipate its performance. Products should be innovative in terms of newness and compatible in terms of usability issues. Product specifications should maintain a balance between task characteristics and human capabilities. Design features conforming usability, trust, and sustainability issues make a product successful.
