Design Journal, e-ISSN: 2964-6227 and p-ISSN: 2964-805X is a free and open-access journal published by the Research Division, YPMMA Institute, Indonesia. Design Journal is a well-established, leading international peer-reviewed journal covering many aspects of design. The journal is published two times a year and provides a lively forum for a broad audience of design scholars, researchers, practitioners, educators and managers worldwide. It aims to publish thought-provoking work which will have a direct impact on design knowledge and which challenges assumptions and methods, while being open-minded about the evolving role of design. The Design Journal is a well-established, leading international peer-reviewed journal covering many aspects of design. The journal is published two times a year and provides a lively forum for a broad audience of design scholars, researchers, practitioners, educators and managers worldwide. It aims to publish thought-provoking work which will have a direct impact on design knowledge and which challenges assumptions and methods, while being open-minded about the evolving role of design. To be considered for publication, articles must clearly articulate their relevance to either design practice, design research, design theory, design management or design education. We welcome high quality, original articles in the form of: Design Research Papers – primary research with specific methods findings and results Design Propositions – critical design, speculative design, propositional design – non-commercial, practice-based explorations that address significant contemporary issues in design and through design. Design Perspectives – position papers and philosophical discussions by experienced academics offering their perspectives on important design-related issues.

Abstract

This paper explores the possibility of combining theories from different subject areas into product design as influences that are not typically seen in this space. The main aim of this research was to discover whether concepts from horror and comedy could be incorporated into a design process in order to create products that influence user reactions in new ways. While this paper only explores one example of incorporating new influences into a design process, it covers some of the key ideas in relation to wider exploration of concepts and how the ideas presented may work with other disciplinary themes. An exploration of user interactions with products in general was also key in understanding how this could affect the way users viewed and interacted with the final products. Finally, this paper proposes these ideas as a way to open new critiques on the design world and the influences used when designing new products. Building on research into horror and humour concepts, this paper explores the integration of these into a product design process. Walking through each stage of a design process drawing from academic perspectives on what makes a product design process successful. This paper demonstrates how a design process can be altered by introducing new influences while still meeting guidelines for what good design is. By then undertaking the design process and thus creating a suite of products demonstrating the concepts that were introduced, the paper determines that products designed with alternative influences can have a space in the design world and can function and interact with users in new ways. The implications of this research open possibilities of successfully using uncommon influences in product design as a way to open new understandings of what good design can be.

Abstract

Floods have repeatedly threatened the people of Aceh Province. Thousands of families lost their property and lives because the early warning information was delayed. This research designs a flood early warning system prototype based on IoT using renewable energy, which can operate on its own without PLN electricity. The system uses three IP68 float switch sensors to detect water levels at thresholds of 0.5m (normal), 1.0m (alert), and 1.5m (danger) combined with a 2-in-1 audio-visual alarm (strobe and siren) with a coverage distance of 100-150 meters. The energy design uses a solar panel of 50-100W with 12V DC voltage and has a minimum backup for 48 hours without sunlight. Hardware design, sensor accuracy testing, validation of the energy system, and testing the effectiveness of alarms are the research methods in this study which is conducted in Banda Aceh City. The results indicate that this system can run independently at low power consumption because float switch sensors are more effective than ultrasonic sensors under conditions where the water is turbid and full of debris as found in rivers in Aceh Province. This prototype is low-cost (less than Rp 2 million), requires minimal maintenance, and has high reliability; therefore, it can be adopted by communities that do not have many resources. This research provides a technical blueprint for developing an early warning system that fits geographically and climatically with Aceh Province which may be replicated in other flood-prone districts for disaster risk reduction programs.
