Ergonomics Principles In Design

Ergonomics Principles in Design: An Illustrated Fundamental Approach touches upon different ergonomic principles in design and then showcases with examples where and how they have been applied. Each chapter covers one aspect of design and emphasizes its application in the real world, such as the ergonomic design of the interface of a blood pressure monitor and the ergonomic interface of a moving ticket vending machine. Discusses all aspects of design from product, space, and communication. Includes many self-explanatory assignments for better understanding. Highlights practice sessions at the end of each chapter with design directions to help the readers. Demonstrates ergonomics principles with the help of real-life examples. Focusses on the application of ergonomic principles in design in the form of studio assignments. The text covers the application of ergonomic principles in diverse areas of design, like product, space, and communication in a single volume. It will serve as an ideal reference text for graduate students and professionals in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, occupational health and safety, and industrial and manufacturing engineering.

Occupational Ergonomics: Principles of Work Design focuses on the fundamentals in ergonomics design and evaluation. Divided into two parts, Part I covers the background for the discipline and profession of ergonomics and offers an international perspective on ergonomics. Part II describes the foundations of ergonomics knowledge, including fundament

Visual Ergonomics for Communication Design reveals the application of ergonomics principles in visual communication design. It enables the visual designer to look at different aspects of visual design from the point of view of the user to ensure that their designs are more user-friendly. The book allows the reader to apply the principles of ergonomics in different facets of communication design such as pictograms, icons and logo design, product labeling, information system in space, and visual ergonomics in simple map design. An introductory chapter allows the reader to learn the basics and principles of visual ergonomics and gives them an insight into the probable application areas. Further chapters delve deeper into the topic with each chapter ending with "Key Points", Practice Sections", and exercises designed to help the reader to revise what they have learned. The reader will benefit from coverage of visual ergonomics in icons, pictograms, and symbols, product labeling, wayfinding in space, and map design which are all backed up with examples and illustrations. Written with the layperson in mind who has no background in the subject, this interesting and easy-to-read reference addresses how to use the different principles of ergonomics in visual communication in a storytelling format. With a narrative structure to the chapters and illustrated throughout, this book is an ideal read for students and professionals looking to strengthen their knowledge of visual communication design by augmenting it with ergonomic principles. It will appeal to students and professionals studying and working in the fields of computer science, human-computer interaction, design engineering, mechanical engineering, information technology, communications engineering, and human factors engineering.

Even with today’s mobile technology, most work is still undertaken in a physical workplace. Today’s workplaces need to be healthy environments that minimize the risks of illnesses or injuries to occupants to compete in the marketplace. This necessitates the application of good ergonomics design principles to the creation of effective workplaces, and this is the focus of this book. This book will: · Focus on ergonomic design for better health and ergonomic design for better productivity · Presents environments that support new ways of working and alternative workplace strategies, as well as the impacts of new technologies · Covers the role of ergonomics design in creating sustainable workplaces · Includes ergonomics design for a wide variety of workplaces, from offices to hospitals, to hotels to vehicles, etc... · Shows the design principles on how to design and create a healthy and productive workplace The market lacks an ergonomics design book that covers the topics that this book will cover. This book summarizes design principles for practitioners, and applies them to the variety of workplace settings described in the book. No other book currently on the market does that.
