In the documentary Objectified, design was examined through everyday objects ranging from chairs to a Macbook Pro. Objectified looks at the creative processes of some of the world’s most progressive, ingenious designers, and looks at how the things they make affect our everyday lives. The properties of good design are explained by Dieter Rams, the former design director for Braun, in which he states that design should make a product useful and be innovative, aesthetically pleasing, easy to understand, honest, unobtrusive, long-lived, consistent in every detail, environmentally friendly, and as little design as possible. This documentary looks at how design affects our everyday lives, as well as the progression certain designs have taken through the years, and what design may look like in the future. After viewing this film, I have a much better understanding of what good design is, and how it affects my everyday life.
