Week 4 Video Reflection: Yves Behar

If designers are able to use the idea of telling stories through design or creating objects that tell a story, could lead to really inquisitive designs. This would start a whole, new thinking between designers, and lead design in a new way, making it more humanistic. As Yves Behar says, “designers need to bring a different, humanistic relation between the two (the product and consumer),” this would make easier to use and more friendly designs available.

Museum Tour.

The first image, is that of a revolutionary car design, it was inspired by a tear or water drop, and changed they ways of car design for many years.
The drawing is that of a puzzle inspired design tea and coffee set, I found this piece extremerly interesting, as I personally don't see a need or point for design's such as this, however, it has made me think differently about the way pieces can be designed to create interest, as it did with me.
In the ecological section of the museum, I did find the re-house as it made it much more apart that houses can be made from recycable material, and still look exactly the same and function the same, however having less impact on the environment. I dont have a drawing from this as it wasn't that much different from your average kitchen.

Video Reflection: Organic Design.

I found the video Organic Design from "Ross Lovegrove" extremerly interesting and informative. It has helped me to understand a new way to think about design, and in some cases the simplicitly that can create such a unique design. The bottle that Lovegrove designed in based on such a simple form, which directly relates to the product itself, and it is this type of thinking that needs to be pursued to create new and unique products.

Task 5: Video

The days of designing and creating products just based on asethetics seem to be over. As the video "David Kelley 2002 -The future of design is human centred.” demonstrates, it is becoming much more apparent that design needs to be focused in the relation between product and the consumer. Products in today's world need to have new focus in there design, they do need to continue to use the aesthetics and technology that has allowed them to reach the point they have thus far, but they need to have a new approach taken in the design process, with a focus on producing products that are human centred.

After watching the video, it has been made clear that human centred design has been available for a while, although with advances in todays technologies, designers are at the point were they are able to re-channel were design is to be taken, and change its direction for the future. The future needing to be human centred.
