Recommended: Design thinking apple

The speech of Tony Fandell; a recognize product designer who has worked for companies like Apple, is sending a clear message about how human beings lost the capacity of noticing the common things in our daily basis. He explains how through his work can see the things that become usual for all of us, how to feel them, and try to surpass the imperfections becoming great products and ideas. In other words, when people are facing a problem or issue the first time turn into something difficult and hard to get used to, but once you have faced the same thing over a 1000 times, not only you become numb and start dealing with it, but also, that will change into an habit. Mr. Fadell gives a wonderful example, when we have to flick off those little stickers

    Have you ever thought how much research and effort a company has done to make their product appeal to you?

In Thomas Hine’s essay, What’s in a Package, Hine discusses the great length the response that a consumer should have when looking at a product’s packaging, the importance of manufactures’ marketing campaign, the importance of packages depending on the culture, then finally to why designs will change over time.

  • World-building: Substance Meets Style in the Films of Wes Anderson

    1194 Words  | 3 Pages

    With his down-the-rabbit-hole approach to design and obsessive attention to detail, Wes Anderson, writer, director and auteur, is best known for his highly stylized movies. His extremely visual, nostalgic worlds give meaning to the stories in his films, contrary to popular critical beliefs that he values style over substance. Through an analysis of his work, I plan to show that design can instead, give substance to style.

  • How Dadaism Influenced Graphic Design

    Graphic design is technically present everywhere- may it be in signage, billboards, magazines, packaging, branding, books and most especially in social media. But people often do not notice it. They don’t actually realize how much effect design has over their daily lives. The truth is, graphic design doesn’t just make something look pleasing. It actually fixes a problem and organizes information to aid in sending a message in the most impactful way possible. With today’s generation, the need to read or view images in seconds, as well as on smaller screens, graphic design plays a progressively significant part not only in creating brand awareness and recognition but also in attracting the users’ attention by evoking emotions from them.1

  • The Apple Corporation's Clever Marketing Strategies

    Apple is “the world’s most colorful company,” Linzmayer, Owen . Apple Confidential 2.0. 1st. San Francisco, CA: No Starch Press, 2004. When looking at its meager beginnings Apple’s influence on the media could only be described as unique. Their product, style, and overall beliefs make the Apple Corporation a multi-billion dollar company with a general appeal for all ages. It is getting harder and harder to be an individual, so with Apple you can “rise above the norm” and be unique. Recently, this unique corporation has taken the media by storm, with their new line of products. Right along side these new products are a full line of new commercials to go along with them. These new commercials spawned from years of creative marketing done on Apple’s part. Studying the history of Apple is necessary to understanding their influence upon us today.

Refining and discarding they shaped, molded and constricted the ideas of design until reaching the pinnacle of minimalism. Creating design with pure aesthetics and reducing an object down to its core fundamental elements. Using the ideas of “less is more” or even “using less for more”, the designs ended up simple and elegant with a focus not in quantit...

  • Future Design Essay

    A new product on the market may look all shiny and new and be appealing to customers but what is the story behind the product and what is the underlying future for this product. Where were the original materials from? Is it all legalised? Where did the manufacturing take place? How was the product manufactured? These are all questions that are never properly addressed in the design industry and are just simply overlooked. They are the aspects of designing and producing a new product that need to be carefully looked at to make a good design, and to make sustainable products.

  • Steve Jobs: Achieving Your Dreams

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

    I honestly agree with Steve Jobs argument, if you don’t like the job your doing then don’t do it. Steve Jobs has been a good man; he went to a very expensive college (Reed College) but couldn’t afford it so he dropped out. He regretted it so he still went to the classes that amused him, but had to sleep on the floor in his friends’ dorms. Jobs have lost lots of things he liked and the big one was the job that he owned and created. I honestly think if you work as hard as he did then its worth doing the thing you love.
