Hey Leute! Ich weiß, das ist ein etwas anderes Video als sonst, also sorry, wenn ihr heute was anderes erwartet habt. Der Design-Guide war mein Semesterprojekt, an dem ich Tage und Nächte gesessen habe. Das Video war das aufwendigste, was ich im bisher gemacht habe und es war mir deswegen zu schade, es nicht hochzuladen. Lasst einen Daumen nach oben da, wenn’s euch gefallen hat. Ich würde mich freuen 🙂

Nächste Woche ist dann alles wieder beim Alten und außerdem bin ich dann auch endlich fertig mit meinen Prüfungen 😀

WAS IST DESIGN? – Einfach und verständlich erklärt!

Understanding design principles and functions

The video aims to explain the fundamental principles of design in a simple and understandable way.

• Design is often misunderstood as just artistic paintings, abstract forms, or uniquely shaped buildings.
• True design includes everyday objects like a cup, a lemon squeezer, or a faucet.
• Design is about creating a product that optimally combines aesthetic and practical effects.
• An example is given of designing a cup for someone who has never seen one before, emphasizing the importance of intuitive design.
• The cup must be designed in a way that the user can understand its function just by looking at it, such as adding a handle for easy transportation.
• Design has two main functions: practical and communicative.
• The practical function of the cup is to hold hot beverages, allow drinking, and be transportable.
• The communicative function is to convey through product language what the user can do with the cup.
• To apply product language, designers must consider what they want to express and how to express it.
• Product language is divided into symbolic and formal functions, where symbolic functions convey the meaning of the product.

Understanding design’s functional and formal aspects

• The text discusses the formal and symbolic functions of a product. Formal functions relate to the product’s external form, which has no connection to its meaning.
• Symbolic functions are the carriers of meaning. These functions are divided into indicative and social functions. Indicative functions of a cup include filling it, drinking from it, and transporting it, which define the essence of the cup.
• Social functions place the product in a societal context. For example, a pink cup appeals to young girls, while a cup with a golden rim and old-fashioned decorations targets an older audience.
• The essence of a product is what defines it, such as the hands of a clock, the touchscreen of a smartphone, or the lens of a camera.
• Formal aesthetic functions are aspects considered independently of their content meaning. A cup can be designed simply or elaborately, with various shapes and forms.
• The text emphasizes that design is not just about making things beautiful. A designer needs specific skills to combine the linguistic and practical effects of a product optimally.
• A designer must understand the consumer’s perspective to tailor the product to the user effectively.

Creativity and user focus are crucial

• The profession of a designer is highly dependent on creativity. Without original ideas, one merely copies, which does not constitute good design.
• Design is subjective and dependent on the viewer. There will always be people who like your product and others who dislike it. Pleasing everyone is not the goal.
• The important thing is to incorporate your creativity and create something you believe in. However, never lose sight of the interface with the consumer, as they are the ones who ultimately use the product.
• The speaker shares their personal stance on design, emphasizing the importance of creativity and user focus.
• The speaker directs viewers to different parts of their design guide for more information on what design is, what to consider in design, and their personal views on design.
