Task 4: Bad Design

In this day and edge, you would expect bare minimum requirements when u enter an elevator. Floor number buttons, floor indicator and obviously an open and close button for it. But turns out the closest elevator to me wouldn't even have these bare essentials! My apartment elevator has proved troublesome at times, constantly shutting when there are people still tryin to get in and out of it. It also proves inconvenient when there is someone just behind you trying to get in, and you try your best to hold the door open, and the it shuts in the guys face. Doesnt't leave a good feeling with me since it'll probably send out the wrong message.

My solution for this particular bad design is simple, add open and close buttons to it! Anywhere would do really. down the bottom, up the top anywhere. For me i think it is very important to have these buttons as common sense. To hold open or to close the door of an elevator at will. Below is a simple sketch of what should have been on this elevator.
