Visual representation is the most important element of a design registration in terms of scope of protection. This study examines national, regional and international design registration systems in terms of legal texts and guidelines related to visual representation, investigates problematic issues concerning the features and qualities of visual representation in industrial design registration applications in Turkey through the interviews conducted with the Turkish Patent Institute examiners, and proposes a guideline for Turkey which would assist applicants and attorneys in preparing visual representations.

Harnessing children's creativity in contextmapping activities Özakar, Aslı Deniz; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Gilen, Mathieu; Department of Industrial Design (2010) Recently developed co-design methods ask for users’ creative outcomes all through the design process. Designers are familiar with the creative process but users are not. The heuristic tasks given to users should reveal their creativity and harness it for high-quality outcomes. Contextmapping is a new co-design method following the same need as others; the method involves generative sessions in which users are asked to create artifacts communicating their needs and dreams about future products. Children are ...
Physical pain in user-product interaction Dikdur, Ezgi; Sonneveld, Marieke; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Department of Industrial Design (2011) The main focus of the multidisciplinary nature of design is to provide users a better life in terms of enabling the products to be safe, usable and pleasurable to use. Therefore, physical pain is always avoided. However, physical pain is involved in our daily lives, not only as an avoided concept, but also as a constructive concept. It is used for functional or hedonic purposes; whether consciously or not. The focus in this research is exploring these ‘used’ pains, and their relations to product design; in ...
The dimensions of users' fun experiences with consumer products Cila, Nazlı; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2008) User experience (UX) is a multi-dimensional user-product interaction involving positive and emotional usage. Fun experience is a component of UX which maintains distinctive dimensions. In this study these dimensions of the fun concept, namely the nature of the experience, the qualities of products that take place in the experience, and the emotional content of the fun experiences are investigated. The thesis is supported by arguments collected from the literature and the data from two empirical studies.
Performance-based parametric design explorations: A method for generating appropriate building components Ercan, Burak; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira (2015-05-01) Performance-based parametric design explorations depend on formulating custom-designed workflows that require reading, writing, interpreting and manipulating databases, as part of the design process. The possibilities of customization and parameterization offered by the user-friendly interfaces of advanced building-performance simulation software and digital design tools have now enabled architects to carry out performance-based design explorations without the help of simulation experts. This paper presents...
Crowd participation in web-based collective design platforms: a study on quirky’s in-house industrial designers Hajiamiri, Milad; Korkut, Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2014) Web-based collective design platforms are the newly emerging environments which globally support the contribution of vast number of individuals with diverse backgrounds. This study investigates the role of in-house industrial designers working for web-based collective design platforms in connection with the crowd participation in different phases of design process. The first study conducted focuses on the perceived values of web-based collective design platforms and covers semi-structured interviews with no...
