The design process in terms of design on the computer at present uses the human designer to complete the majority of the work, and the computer helps throughout this process by correcting any mistakes and providing a range of tools to help with the design, also giving suggestions as to where things should be, colour palettes, sizes, layouts etc… the computer is merely a clever tool used to design on and helps to produce the human designers expectations.
As technology and computers become more advanced I believe the role of the human designer and the computer will change dramatically, the computer will be given the job of completing a design and the human designer will be an observer ensuring the design was produced correctly. This way the human designer suffers no stress and simply has to provide small instructions to the computer of they need to – the computer does all the hard work.
Computers will have a far more active roll in the production of the design and will ask questions of the designer to problems which the computer believes it cannot handle itself, so the designer will still be making small decisions but only when needed, drawing work will be being completed by the computer and small changes will be being made by the designer if they are needed, computers will be participating more in the design process and this will also help the human designer to stop producing similar work over and over, making them to stay out of ‘routine’ work.
