 * (A) Describe how Bill Moggridge defines 'design as a collaborative process'**

Design is a collaborative process due to the fact there is a team of people. The team of people is made up of people from varying backgrounds. The backgrounds not only mean ethnically, but due to experience and ideas that they bring to the table. To be in this team, there should be a shared mind and allow for various phases of brainstorming. Furthermore, this team is to build on a project. A project allows the team to come back to it again and again in order to make that project more efficient. This allows a higher level of collaboration with the team.


 * (B) Cite two examples of how creators involve the people they want to create for in their work (according to Bill Moggridge's lecture).**

Two examples Bill Moggridge has given in order to involve the people (that their creating for) into the project are: 1) __Ear/Throat Surgery Equipment__- The design team for this project had the surgeons (that actually use the previous model) in so they may assess the pros and cons of the redesign model. The surgeons felt like it was their project as well and gave greater input in order to make the product for affective. The finished product was easier to hold and to inject into the person.

2) __The American Red Cross Personal Board__- The personal board allowed people (that donated) to explain why they donated, and had those people to post their comments on the board. With that, other people that were thinking about donating could see what others had to say. This made the whole donating process more human and made them feel as if they had a connection with those that gave.   add its URL.** An online example of a product that utilizes Bill Moggridge's principles is the Aquaduct bike by IDEO

The Aquaduct bike allows a rider to purify water as their peddling along. This bike has been made to help third world countries that suffer from unsanitized water. The team that collaborated on this project consisted of people that came from various educational backgrounds. For example, John Lei is an industrial designer vs. Brian Mason who is an engineer. Furthermore, this bike has been made by a team of designers who collaborated in researching where the Aquaduct can be used and whom it may benefit. The team strategically mapped out the concept of the bike and conducted many experiments in order to make the bike an affect device for third-world country inhabitants. (__citation__: [] [])
