Objectified- Allee Thompson

  1. Do you agree or disagree with any of the designers’ statements, why?

I agree with what the German designers says. I agree because designers and producers need to think clearly about how a product is being created and manufactured. Not just producing something in mass just to put something out. I also agree with his “good design is…” statements.

  1. Has anything the designers said changed how you thought about design?

I thought that design had to be something very visually stunning all the time. There have been products that never fully change after each update. Those updates and changes are subtle but they try to be better than before. Now a design just has to be functional and visually appealing.

  1. Each designer interviewed for “Objectified” defined how they see Design, how would you define design and how has that definition changed?

I would define design by saying that design is a process that includes drawing a future product, testing the design, revising the design, and then finally finalizing the design and producing. It has changed because I always thought that design was something visual and artistic rather than a process.
