Objectified was definitely an interesting film, and although it didn’t really relate to my major, it was cool to see how innovative a field industrial design is, how constantly it changes and advances to fit the needs of consumers. Also fascinating was watching where ideas come from, sometimes on a whim or by accident (such as using a bike handle to ultimately develop the handle for a potato peeler) and sometimes through extensive reflection and trial-and-error (such as designing something as simple as a toothbrush).
I find there’s so much we take for granted when it comes to design, and we assume that things are the way they are just by chance or because “that’s just the way it is”. After watching this film it’s incredible to see the reasons and the planning that goes into designing each object, and I’ll undoubtedly be able to better appreciate good industrial design from here on out.
