Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to allow undergraduate graphic design students and interior design students to conduct participatory design projects with entrepreneurship students as collaborative efforts. In one instance, entrepreneurship students developed the business plans and participated as users who were recognized as partners. Graphic design students teamed with these entrepreneurship students to develop app interface designs. In the other instance, interior design students sought collaboration with entrepreneurship students to propose and design a retail space in an existing commercial area. The aspects of the participatory designs were the goal of improving the quality of life, a collaborative orientation, and an iterative process. With an entrepreneurial perspective in the context of community, this project allowed graphic design students and interior design students to experience participatory design within two different forms of design, comprehensive app interface design and an interior retail environment.
