Eames, Gerstner, and Sutnar improved and reinvented the forms and organizations based on the principles of human ergonomics and human factors. They aim to bring convenience to humans. Furthermore, they addressed the importance of user experience. Firstly, Eames’ design of chairs takes users’ need into consideration instead of producing chairs in bulk. Secondly, Grester’s responsive design develops and explores the ideas of flexible grid, systematic design, and integral typography. Last but not least, Sutnar’s catalog design better organized information through a coordinated visual system of geometric shapes, navigational signals, and bright constructivist colors to create a positive user experience.
In the research side of user experience, Dreyfuss’ user research method plays an important role in the field of contemporary research practices. According to Dreyfuss’s principles, he focuses on addressing human’s needs, which is a crucial principle people still take for granted. He dedicates himself to seeking a solution that from the point of people’s views. For example, Dreyfuss keeps exploring the dimension of humans and the Humanscale. He pays more attention to the observation of human habits and anatomy. The methods Dreyfuss uses in his study influence the modern user research techniques, as modern designers and researchers are also focused on the usability of the products to the users rather than focusing solely on the product aesthetic. In other words, the focus is on the users, not the products. As such, concluding the human’s features and satisfying their needs is important for designers.
