Question 2

Why is symmetry important in design?

Answer 2

It offers inclusivity for both left and right-handed users and can give visual balance where as a symmetry can add interest and focused to designs

Question 3

Anthropomorphism

Answer 3

The use of recognisably human characteristics within a design.

Answer 8

A process that considers what might cause harm to people and what reasonable steps might be taken to prevent that harm

Question 9

How long does copyright last

Answer 9

70 years after the death of the creator

Question 10
