1. Social design:
It is based on the use of methodologies or strategies that allow proposing a good design, with a
effective solution to a need or problem, taking into account fundamental aspects that
requires each creation or improvement to be made, this allows to achieve a good design directed to the profile
that has been analyzed. To achieve a social design you have to soak up the reality of the user,
be filled with the day to day they live, so that the challenge of creation has a greater meaning, a design
passionate and that really allows to solve the need.
Social design encompasses from the approach of the problem, until the moment of
packaging and distribution, since it seeks to solve responsibly, from the point of view
environment, each phase involved in creating a product, taking into account the context, the
necessity, the environmental impact that is going to be generated, the material to be used, how it is going to be packed, and
finally how it will be distributed to its place of sale. In addition, the designer must be willing
to work in any condition, without discrimination, socioeconomic level, race, culture, being
inclusive with the design, since this will cover a large part of the population.
1.1. Designer Responsibility
Social Responsibility is a posture that indicates ways of thinking and acting that
transcend selfish calculation and promote practices mediated by solidarity and commitment
Social; generate a type of inclusive responsibility that tends not only for the well-being
but also by that of other social sectors, identifying problems of populations
and building alternatives that promote the solution of identified needs
and intervened. (Herrera, 2011, p.49)
