Described to a point as barriers facing us when interacting with the world around us, a mismatch situation is like ordering off of a menu in a language foreign to our own. Mismatches may seem threatening at first, but they are the building blocks of every inclusive piece of design we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“Ask someone what it means to be included and you will receive 100 different answers. Ask them what it means to be excluded and you will have one uniform response. To be left out.”<\/p>\nMismatch ; Misfits by design ; Page 4<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A person can easily adapt their situation in order to feel more included, however, when faced with the challenge of adapting to suit a product, a mismatch can not always be so easily solved. This failure falls on the shoulders of the designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As people, we must recognise exclusion, learn from human diversity, and then solve the problem for one, and expand to others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a way though, exclusion is cyclical, as it is constantly renewed by our choices. There are 5 key elements to these choices that we make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
- How we make ; solutions explored by the problem solver. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Who makes the solutions ; who will be held accountable?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Why we make its ; focuses on motivations innate to the problem solver themselves. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Who uses it ; these are assumptions that the designer makes about the user.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- What we make ; there solution!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
