While going back to my first initial Blog I realized I had asked myself a few questions to explore. In a quick response this is what I have gathered:
What is Design?
Design is every thing from the tooth brush we use in the morning to the computer we use to write our blogs. To be a design we must think about the consumer and their needs and connections to objects. It is our goal to create a pleasing experience with each object for the consumer, even if they are not aware of it.
How does it influence us?
Certain designs make everyday tasks possible minimizing frustration, time, and accidental hazards. Good design provides consumers with objects that are used daily creating pleasant experiences when used.
What do we mean when we say Design in Society?
In society we cherish ordinary objects but only because they have a story provided with them. Every object has a purpose and it is up to the consumer to decide if they need certain objects in their life.
Design is impossible to avoid it is every where we look, every where we go, and involved in every thing we do. To be a designer we must think about the consumer putting ourselves in their position. Our process of creating an object is as important as the product. Susan Verba explains that when designing one must “sponge, filter, and voice.” By taking in every experience and situation we are soaking up all options then must determine which ideas are most logical and finally finding ourselves with what we believe is the way of designing. Design is not only the whole design but it also the parts that how each part is put together to create a whole.
