Today in class, we watched a movie called Objectified which showcased how form and content can work together to last for a long time. Many designs become successful because there is a purpose to why the design was created in the first place. What these designers support and believe leads to a beautiful creation. There is a purpose behind every good design. When there's an objective, the designers can create innovative designs.
The film interviewed a lot of designers and these people many things to say about the role of design in the world. Sometimes, they can ramble on and it might be hard to understand but you can see how detail-oriented they are about their design. I think it also reflects a lot on the design process that relates to the scientific method mentioned in class:
- Field research
- Understanding the problem
- Ideas
- Making a prototype
- Getting feedback
- Repeating the process again
The reason why some of the designs work today because they follow the design process. Of course there will always be failures but that's how designers learn from it and make it better.
