In this week’s reading material and video we covered some pretty big themes. In The Shape of Design the author discussed how as designers we must remember to create with love, and to believe in the product you’re creating. The chapter also posed the idea that good design will not only serve the heart through aesthetics but also the mind through functionality. In Tim Brown’s TED talk, Designers – Think Big!, he reminded us that at the core of design are humans, and to design well we need to bring in culture and context. In Design Is Storytelling the author talks about how action can and should drive design. Along with that, asking what action a product will create, will result in a proper user and product interACTION.
