Does gender influence the design?
In certain jobs, there are stereotypes; like for example, we always think that a secretary has to be a woman, but nowadays we know that there are also men doing these jobs without problems.Have you ever thought, but it might happen that some people think that an X design had to be made by a man and a Y design had to be made by a woman? This reminds me the time when a professor of mine challenged the men in the class to do a design of a baby doll for little girls, while girls had to do a design for a boys.
He used to say that these activities were necessary, because in this business you don’t know who you are designing for. I honestly believe that the gender doesn’t affect the final resolution or quality of the design.
