Influences on Design
Many factors influence the design of products, systems or environments. Designers must consider how these factors will have an impact on their eventual users, environments and the wider world. Designers have to use materials sympathetically and consider the conflicting demands that moral, cultural, economic, and social values and needs can have in the planning and in the designing of products.

Packed with engaging imagery and real-life examples, this program will stimulate viewers to think about the influences on their design work.
