TASK 5 : VIDEO REFLECTION - DESIGNING OBJECTS THAT TELLS STORIES

I think the major take home message for Yves Behar's video is the significance of values and meanings of the product and human involvement in the product.

At the begining of the video, he talks about his childhood memories and how it has contributed to his design. He believes we all have experiences with objects, so all the products around us incorporate to the human experiences. He desires to design "important stuff entire human experience not just the skin".

From this video i realized how it's important to design the products to involve the users and to create a connection between prodcut and consumer. I think rather than just designing aesthetic and fuctional product, we need to design something that involve human's experiences and memories so make users to think about the stories the object is trying to tell us.
