Objectified

Most of this video focused on my intended major, industrial design, which made it very interesting to me. It was exciting to see the industrial designers in their work environment because I was able to imagine myself their working with them. I like how they took simple solutions to make a product much easier to use. The video also did a great job communicating what it is to be a designer. The different designers gave their definitions and theories of what good design is to them. Though the designers all talked about nearly the same things, each designer saw slightly different things to be important for good design. This made each designer’s work unique, which I found interesting. I don’t know what it is yet that I would like to spend my time improving the design of, but that’s why I think industrial design is so great. In the video they ranged from designing gardening tools to living room furniture. I think its cool to think about how everything around us is designed like the video said. I learned that good design is simple and is only includes what is necessary. They said so many different words that described design in the video that I don’t even remember them. This video was well worth watching and I enjoyed it.
