The Meaning of Design 设计的含义

What  is Design ? 什么是设计

Every company, every team, has their own understanding of what design is and what the role of designs should be. 

每个公司，每个团队对什么是设计以及设计应该扮演什么角色都有他们自己的理解。

Within the user experience field, there are so many specializations within design roles —interaction designer, visual designer, information architect, motion designer, prototype—and these roles can have overlaps with other domains such as marketing, architecture, industrial design, or even sound design.

在用户体验领域里，有很多专业化的设计角色——交互设计师、视觉设计师、信息架构师、动效设计师、原型师——这些角色可能会和其他领域有部分交叉，像市场营销、建筑、工业设计甚至是语音设计。

To add to the confusion, no matter what the mix of roles on a team, UX as a discipline itself can be at varying levels of maturity within organizations.

让人感动更加困惑的是，无论团队中的角色如何配置，用户体验(UX)作为一门学科本身在组织内可能处于不同的成熟度水平。

Some teams might be playing more of a service role and fighting for a seat at the strategy table. On the other hand, some companies might haveChief Design Officers and deeply embedded design team the contribute at the highest levels of business and product strategy.

一方面，一些团队可能更多的是扮演服务角色并在战略上争夺一席之地。另一方面，有些公司可能会安排首席设计师深入设计团队，为公司最高层面的业务和产品战略作出贡献。

The understanding of what design is, can really vary across companies, organizations, and teams.

对于什么是设计的理解，在公司、组织和团队之间确实存在差异。

The Evolution of Design 设计的演变

In spite of the varying interpretation of design roles,  we have universally seen a gradual maturing of the UX field over the years. At  the industry level, the understanding of design and what designers do has evolved.

尽管对设计角色的解释各有不同，我们有个普遍的认知就是这些年来在用户体验领域不断变得成熟，行业里对设计的理解和设计的工作内容已经发生了变化。

Design is no longer seen as just crafting UI elements or even product experiences. There is a broader understanding in the industry that design can influence the experience a user has with all of a company’s touchpoint .Ultimately, all these touchpoint and product experience culminate  in the overarching perception of a company’s brand—and design impacts all of this.

设计不再仅仅被视为制作UI元素甚至是产品体验。行业里面广泛的理解是设计能够影响用户跟公司所有接触点的体验。所有这些接触点和产品体验最终都会对公司的品牌和设计产生影响。

The focus has shifted. We’ve gone from the idea that designers simply create usable components and product designs, to the understanding that their work impact the perception of entire brand and customer experience.

设计师关注的重点已经转移了。我们已经摆脱了设计师仅仅是创造可用组件和产品设计的这种想法，而是去理解设计的工作会影响整个品牌的感知和客户体验。

Let’s Talk About Feelings 让我们谈谈感受

As  we consider this broader impact of design on a company’s brand, it becomes important to see design as not just about usability, but also  about feelings. People don’t just want products that work — they want to feel happy while using them.

当我们考虑设计对公司品牌的广泛影响时，将设计视为不仅仅与可用性相关，也跟感受有关，这一点就变得很重要。人们不仅仅想要产品有用—他们希望在使用产品的时候感受到快乐。

Delivering delight and pleasure to our customers is critical for user engagement. However, what we are seeing increasing is that customer want more. We are learning that delight alone isn’t enough.

为客户传递愉悦和快乐对用户参与度来说是至关重要的。然而，我们发现用户想要的在不断增加。我们渐渐意识到仅仅提供愉悦(的体验)是不够的。

 Increasingly, people are finding gratification and a sense of purpose through creating connections, memories, and experiences. People are looking deeper for a sense of identity that can’t be derived 获得 得到only from material product purchases.

人们越来越多的通过创建联系、记忆和体验来找到满足感和目标感。 人们正在寻找不能仅从购买物质产品来获得的更深层次的认同感。

What is meaning? Meaning is what gives us a sense of importance or worth. It’s very specific to each of us and it helps us interpret  the world and decide how to act. Meaning is what helps us assess and determine what we value, believe, and desire.

意义是什么？意义是一种给予我们重要性和价值感的东西。它对我们每个人都是特独特的  å®ƒå¸®åŠ©æˆ‘们理解世界并决定如何行动。意义帮助我们评估和确定和我们的价值、信念和愿望。

Designing for Meaning 为意义而设计

Design is a way for us to deliver deep meaning to our customers through the experience we craft. Design needs to not only deliver pleasure and delight, but must deliver the deep meaning that we know people are seeking.

设计对我们来说是一种通过我们所创造的体验向客户传达深刻意义的方式。设计不仅仅需要传递快乐和喜悦，还必须传递人们正在寻找的深层次的意义。

The bookMaking Meaning is a great reference that contains powerful insights on driving brand and product innovation. It aims to get to the core of how to deliver meaningful experiences. It captures the 15 types of meaningful  experiences that people most value and is based on extensive research around human needs.

《建构意义》 是一本很好的参考书，它在品牌驱动力和产品创新方面包含强大的洞见。它目的是了解 如何传递体验的意义的核心。 它体现了15种人们最认为最有价值的有意义的体验，并基于人们的需要进行广泛的研究。

Here are few examples of how the work my teams have delivered in the past has translated to the concept of designing for meaning.

这里有几个例子说明我们的团队在过去的工作中如何转化为意义而设计的概念的

Example1: Remote Collaboration 远程协作

While working on a past remote collaboration design initiative, our team’s focus was to deeply understand how people work, and how  they communicate and collaborate with each other remotely. Through our ethnographic research, we found what was really driving people was the desire to do well at work.

 å½“从事过去的远程协作设计计划的时候  æˆ‘们团队的重点是深入了解人们是如何工作和如何进行远程的协作和沟通 的。通过我们人种学研究发现真正驱动人们的是在工作中表现出色的愿望。

People wanted to appear valuable, they had a deep need to build strong relationships and rapport with others, and they were seeking to create things together . The deeper meaning that our customers were seeking was that ofAccomplishment, Creation, and Community.

人们希望显得有价值，他们非常需要和其他人建立牢固和融洽的关系，并且他们正在寻找一起创造事物。 我们的客户寻找的更深层次的意义是成就、创造和共享

Example2: Gaming & Entertainment 游戏和娱乐

On another past project, our team was seeking to understand the deep meaning that people seek when they immerse themselves in gaming and entertainment contexts.

在过去的另一个项目中，我们团队试图理解当人们把自己沉浸在游戏和娱乐项目中的时候所寻找的深层次的含义。

People lean on this type of entertainment to escape from reality and it was our job as gaming and entertainment designers to deliver fun, joy, and enjoyment to our users. The deeper meaning our customers were seeking was a sense of Freedom and Wonder—and a community through which they could experience this with others.

人们依赖这种类型的娱乐来逃离现实生活并且我们游戏和娱乐设计师的工作就是向用户传递的乐趣、欢乐和享受。我们的客户正在寻找的深层次的含义是一种自由和惊奇的感觉—— 以及一个他们能和其他人一起体验这些的社区

Meaning is important to Business  æ„ä¹‰å¯¹å•†ä¸šæ˜¯å¾ˆé‡è¦çš„

Everything that we design needs to embody the core meaning that users are seeking. Delivering meaning cannot be an afterthought事后考虑. The desire to do so needs to be deeply embedded使嵌入in a company’s culture, its mission使命,  its strategy战略, and the core values of its employees.员工的核心价值观

我们设计的一切都需要体现用户所寻求的核心意义。传递意义不能是事后的想法。 这样做的愿望要深深嵌入到公司的文化、使命、战略和员工的核心价值观

Meaning needs to be part of the core intent of an organization.

意义需要成为一个组织的核心组成部分

Designing  for meaning is not only beneficial for the user, but is also key for business success.Delivering experiences that get to the core of what customers really value means that they will identify more deeply with the brand and form a stronger bond with the company.Brand loyalty  and advocacy will be higher and customers will have deeper engagement with products. This will in turn lead to higher use and retention. Rather than brief, transactional interactions  with a product or brand, the interactions will be deeper and longer lasting.

为意义而设计不仅仅对用户有益也是商业成功的关键。提供能接触客户核心价值的体验意味着他们能更深入的认同品牌并且同公司形成更强的纽带。公司品牌忠诚度和用户度将会更高，客户对产品的参与度也会更加深入。作为回报将会带来更高的使用率和留存率。与产品或品牌的短暂交易交互不同，其交互将更深入、更持久。

Meaning is the guiding and driving force within each of us. It’s what helps us value ourselves, and the products and companies we interact with. Delivering meaning through experiences creates a deep bond with users. It elevates design to a higher  level of maturity and strategic  presence . And it helps deliver positive business outcomes.

意义是我们每个人(内心)的向导和驱动力。它有助于我们重视自己以及与我们交互的公司和产品。通过体验传递意义与用户建立深厚的联系。它将设计提升到更高的成熟度和战略地位。有助于提供积极的业务成果。

Without  meaning, we are missing the heart of what user are looking for.

没有意义 我们会错过用户寻求的核心

No matter what industry we are in —whether we create products or services, whether we have an enterprise or consumer focus, and no matter what our role is —we have an opportunity to drive successful business results in a way that also impacts people’s lives.

不管我们从事什么行业——无论我们是创造产品或服务，无论我们是专注于企业还是消费者，不管我们是什么角色——我们有机会以影响人们生活的方式推动成功的商业成果。

Every touchpoint with the customer becomes an opportunity to bring more meaning to the lives of users. Regardless of whether you are a designer, product manager, marketer, or developer —I  hope that you will allow your craft and your decisions to be guided by the goal of delivering meaning to others.

与客户的每一次接触都会成为为用户的生活带来更多意义的机会。不管你是一名设计师、产品经理、营销人员还是开发人员—— 希望你的技能和决策以向他人传递意义为目标导向。

presence是什么意思

presence的意思是“存在、出席、在场”。

以下是

1. 基本含义

“presence”是一个英语词汇，其基本含义为“存在”或“在场”。它可以用作名词，描述某物或某人是否出现在某个地方或某个场合。例如，在社交场合中，我们可以说某人的“presence”来指他们的出席或到场。

2. 语境中的含义

在不同的语境中，“presence”还可以表示其他含义。例如，在戏剧或表演中，它可以指代演员在舞台上的表现力和存在感；在心理学领域，它可以用来描述一个人的心理存在或对周围环境的感知能力。此外，“presence”还可以表示某种影响力或权威性的存在，如在政治或商业领域中。

3. 用法举例

在日常对话中，我们经常会用到与“presence”相关的表达。比如：“She made a strong presence at the meeting”，这里指的是她在会议中的表现引人注目；“I noticed his absence in the room”，这里与“presence”形成对比，表示某人不在场。

总的来说，“presence”是一个多义词，其基本含义为“存在”或“在场”，但根据不同的语境和用法，它可以表示不同的含义。在实际应用中，我们需要根据上下文来理解其准确含义。

physical / psychical presence

身体的与精神的，是人类存在的两种基本形式。身体的，即physical，指的是我们的肉身，包括我们的身体结构、生理功能和物质存在。它是触觉可以感知，可以被看见、摸到、听到、闻到和尝到的实体。physical presence强调的是一个人在物理空间中的存在，无论是实体的形体，还是在特定时间地点的出现。它是物质世界中一种直观、可见的存在状态。

而精神的，则是psychical，它涉及的是灵魂、心理和意识层面。心理的活动，包括思考、情感、愿望、记忆、直觉等，都是精神层面的表现。psychical presence并非通过物理形式来体现，而是通过思想、情感和行为来影响周围的世界。它是一种无形的存在，一种心灵的感应，能够跨越物理空间，影响他人的心灵和情感。

两者的区别在于，physical presence是物质世界中直观、有形的存在，而psychical presence则是非物质世界中无形、抽象的存在。在物理世界中，人们可以通过观察、触摸来感知physical presence；在心理世界中，人们通过倾听、理解和共情来体验psychical presence。这两种存在形式共同构成了人类丰富多维的生活体验。

physical presence和psychical presence的相互作用，构成了我们日常生活的复杂而微妙的动态平衡。在社交场合中，一个人的physical presence往往能够吸引他人的注意，给人留下深刻的第一印象。而psychical presence则能深入人心，通过交流和分享，建立起深层次的情感联系。在艺术、哲学、心理学等领域，对这两者的研究和理解，有助于我们更深入地探索人类的本质和存在的意义。

总之，physical presence和psychical presence是人类存在不可或缺的两个维度。它们在不同的层面上为我们提供了感知世界、体验生命的方式，丰富了我们的生活。在实际生活中，我们既需要关注physical presence，通过维护健康的身体和良好的形象来展现自信和魅力；也需要培养psychical presence，通过提高个人的内在修养和情感智慧，与他人建立更加深入和有意义的连接。
