I had the pleasure of watching Objectified yesterday in class. If you have any interest in design or consumerism as it stands today watch this film.
This flick reaffirmed my passion for the designed world and my hope to one day be a crucial part of this intricate web of corporate america, designer and consumer.
"All objects tell a story, if you know hot to read it."
^ Design language attempts to be simple and easily understood by those that use the products we create. The ultimate goal is to tell a story of who you are and what you as a designer or company wish for the user.
WE WANT NEW THINGS there is no denying this fact but can we make new things that have a purpose before AND after use. Can we steer away from making objects that end up in landfills 11 months later?
Tell the story of man buys object, man loves object and when he is through or when it has failed the products body is reincarnated or disposed of in a responsible manor.
I love that story.
