EXPLORE HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITHOUT WORDS

2022. 10_ Video, puzzle

This project assumes how humans will communicate without language support.
Nowadays, the design interfaces of various applications are becoming more and more similar, and the operating procedures are gradually the same. I found a foreign takeaway app to try, and found that I can operate normally even if I can’t understand the language. So I started thinking about the way humans communicate.
I use video to show how people use program symbols to achieve communication effect without language communication.
Through this project,I hope to remind designers not to think only about catering to the audience and ignore the fun of design itself.Instead, it can shift from user-centric to content-centric to promote the diversity of design products.

这个项目是在假设没有语言支撑的情况下,人类会通过什么方式交流。
现如今各种APP的设计界面越来越相似,操作的流程也逐渐雷同。我找到一款国外的外卖APP进行尝试,发现在我看不懂语言的情况下,也可以正常的进行操作。因此我便开始了对于人类交流方式的思考。
因此我便开始了对于人类交流方式的思考。用视频的方式展示了,在没有语言的情况下,人们使用程序符号的交流效果。
通过这个项目,我希望提醒人们,设计师为何只思考如何迎合用户需求,而忘记了设计本身的乐趣。提醒大家可以将“以用户为中心”变为“以内容为中心”,去推动设计产品的多样化。



I deliberately made a set of acrylic puzzles. Each puzzle was printed with my special APP ICON. I used icons to replace language and text, and made a chassis to imitate the appearance of a mobile phone. Use this set of puzzles to test "whether people can get a complete and logical mobile page without text.

我特意制作了一套亚克力拼图。每块拼图上都印有我特别设计的APP ICON。我用图标来代替语言和文字,并制作了一个底盘来模仿手机的外观。用这组拼图来测试 "人们是否能够在没有文字的情况下获得一个完整且符合逻辑的手机页面"。



This is a video with a signal fault wind. This is because 0 and 1 are the most basic programming languages when it comes to editing programs. Therefore, a part of the video is made with 0 and 1. And a part of the screen is filled with the icon language from the puzzle. Use these to express pictures of people communicating without text.

这是一段信号故障风的视频。这是因为在编辑程序时,0和1是最基本的编程语言。因此,视频的一部分是用0和1制作的,而屏幕的一部分是用谜题中的图标语言填充的。用这些图标来表达人们交流的画面,而不需要文字。
