During CTS week 2, we watched a documentary by Gary Hustwit, ‘Objectified’. It is about the relationship between us and the objects, what can we learn about ourselves looking at objects we own and what they say about us.

The film documents, how designers understand what people want; they don’t work in the vacuum and interact with the environment to fully perceive the needs. Good Design should be innovative, aesthetic, long-lived consistent and as little as possible (Dieter Rams, Objectified, 2009). The designers’ job is looking to the future and improving people’s daily life without people even thinking about it.

Almost everything is designed and every object speaks for itself according to material, colour and etc. Art can change something! it becomes your family and objects you keep define your true self.

We looked at other groups’ key concepts that they’ve gathered from individual notes.
