I quoted and summarized some good parts 3:55 "Pleasant thing work better" 4:45 "Fear makes you focus" 5:55 "when you are anxious, you get stuck, if you are happy you get more idea flow into your brain" 8:15 "Behavior design is all about feel of your control. Most are done unconscious"

True, but that's anxiety coupled with dynamism and action - i.e. the energy to drive yourself from the anxious state into confronting the task at hand, handling it and then reaping the pride of a job well done. The problem is when we are anxious, but do nothing to escape that anxiety.

went over my head. i got what levels/types of thought processes occur when one looks at an object and assesses it's design instictively, i got the breath first/depth first solving part, but could not grasp the answer to the question "what are the 3 ways that good design makes you happy", which is the topic of the talk.

@Zafoshin 6 жыл бұрын

@wolfdnim 6 жыл бұрын

What he talked about was how to design by appealing to 3 different sensibilities of humans. Visceral, which is all about serving instincts. Like how a sudden sound in a horror movie scares us, or a magic show amazes us when we see something out of the ordinary. These instincts have developed over many years and have become part of our subconscious mind. Behavioral, which serves the sensibility that makes conscious decisions. The way we go about our day; showering, making coffee, driving etc. These are utilitarian problems and require simple and effective design which makes life easier. Reflective, which is much more involved thinking about life itself or our identity. We like design which reflects our inner self. The clothes we choose, for example, cater to what we call taste. In all, good design which can appeal to any of these 3 emotional functioning, makes one happy in various degrees.

Yes it is JUST a teapot but that's the point. It's simple stuff that look nice and are useable. It's about how good design can be practical and not only that but pretty things make you enjoy the time you spend using them. The teapot is designed differently from the conventional ones and it's smart (and pretty) because of the way it separates the water from the tealeaves.

@25soraya02 That's kind of the point he's making here -- that what he's said in the past needed to be said, but that there is also room for aesthetics that go beyond the merely practical. Things that serve a particular function need to be first and foremost functional and usable, but they can also be beautiful while sacrificing nothing. And there is room in the world as well for things whose only function is beauty.

Not a bad speech at all but there's one important thing that I think it's missing although I understand the point of the talk was not an "open minding sceneario" rather a sneak peak on how design in terms of aesthetics combined with function can have an impact on our brain but the important thing that is missing here in my opinion is that those principles of aesthetics and visual pleasure that he's talking about are learnt by social behavior and culture, the CASIO kinda watch can be ugly for some people but it's fancy and trendy for some others in the same geographical spot but in different time ages so it's almost impossible to predict or to know wheter a product can be loved or considered "neat" for a broad majority of people but anyway I thought it was a nice speech ^^

Another one misses the point ... you can work on a computer that is ugly and you can work on one that has a beautiful aesthetically pleasant design and the latter will make you feel better while working (which btw is half of Apple's success). Same goes for mp3 players, phones, watches, cars etc. ... the speakers point is that good design can help everyday things make you feel better at doing everyday activities without actually changing the purpose of the tool at hand (the knife reference) ...

He is only referring to temporary impulse emotion though. Sure Minis are fun, but after how many times driving it? The emotion that comes from a $13000 watch is mostly ego based and you feel happy because not everyone has a 13k watch - but will it matter the next day? Its important to have good and functional design. But sometimes there is a deeper "divine resonance" reflected in something and imo that is what real design is all about.
