Task 5: Reflection - Paul Bennett

Take home messages from the video would be that we should focus on the function and convenience of the product instead of focusing on the aesthetics of the design. Paul Bennett believes we shouldn’t design products to look good, but to do their job in the most .

The hospital is a good example which he showed how to improve the patient experience by lying in a bed. He emphasizes that it is not important to have new idea and to invent something new but it is more like development of the existing product.

From this video I’ve learned that products don’t have to be too pretty as long as it conveys the purpose of itself and I realized the importance of developing the existing product adding new ideas on the products with faulty rather than just designing new things.
