“Every design tells a story, if you know how to read it.” – by Henry Ford. I guess this is very true, designers play an impotant role in today’s society, more and more people purchase product not only because they need it, but also it’s a representation of them, to show themselves through the world by this emotional designed product.
As human, our mind are fickleness, that’s why a good design should “ stand the test in time” by Marc Newson. The best example is the Apple company, they not only forcus on the physical outlook but also the software and mass production. Eventhough MacBook Pro look simple, straight forward like undesigned, but when you look closely to those details, that’s where the product communicates with the user, so perfectly done that make the user want to take care of it. Also the software make people never want to leave it, just like Grid Compass with his machine, at the end was all to do with the software.
What I also found meaningful to me was what Dan Formosa said about design not only forcusing on the average people, but should “know and understand the extreme… because the middle would take care of itselfe.” Therefore designer “improve people daily life without them thinking about it.” And creates an appropriate environment where people feel good.
In conclusion and what I always need to keep in mind from now on is a quote by Dieter Rams “Good design should be innovative, good design should make a product usefull, good design is aethetic design, good design will make a product understandable, good design is honest, good design is unobtrusive, good design is long-lived, good design is consistend in every detail, good design is environmentaily friendly, last but not least, good design is as little as possible.”
