Video Reflection: Objectified.

Good design should be innovative, good design should make a product useful, good design is aesthetic design, good design will makes a product understandable, good design is honest, good design is unobtrusive, good design is long-lived, good design is consistent in every detail, good design is environmentally friendly. Last but not least, good design is as little design as possible.

This video is introduced different designer’s opinion with different culture background. I realized that design is the way that you look at the world.

Every design tells a story, I understand that every design has actually made for some purpose. Like the Japanese toothpick, we can break the end and use it as the rest of the toothpick. It contains a cultural context which has a kind of practicable propriety.

Design is about mass of production, the aim of design is make more people to buy. People want to catch the newest things. But however this cannot be achieved. Because, once a product is produced, there will be a similar product being designed with a fresher look. These product brought into society has designed to increase their price. The companies ask for a new design style for an existing thing. Like the macbook, the designers use a totally different way to design the macbook now when compare with the first mac they produced.

“Design dissolving in behavior.” people do not realize the connection between the products and themselves, because the designers are design the product to make people used the products without realizing. The designers have been workings creating a communication through the subconscious connections between people and products allowing a personal interation.

Now the designer need to concern about the implications of continues to produce more and more stuffs that had bad impact on environment. The stability of the products is not just about the pretty things. It’s about redesigning every single aspect, from the material to designing, production, to shipping, and also need to design a way that that product can be disposed logically. I realize that designers should continuously experiment and explore materials.
designers are expect to use the material that has less environmental impact, Its lead a restriction for designers, but once the product has been designed, it will effects on the environment after its life.
When people doing mind map, many more ideas that we never thought of are comes in. people continuously develop their mind though mind maps, that will lead a new world of design you never been.
