📚 Just finished reading "Design for the Real World" by Victor Papanek. This book is a powerful exploration of the intersection of design and human needs, and its relevance in today's world is undeniable. Papanek's work emphasizes the importance of design in creating a meaningful relationship between people and their environment. His philosophy of design being a tool for improving people's lives resonates deeply with me. One of the key takeaways from the book is that design is not merely about creating aesthetically pleasing objects, but rather about addressing real-world problems and improving people's lives. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in design, whether you're a professional designer or simply someone curious about the role of design in society. #Design #BookReview #VictorPapanek #DesignForTheRealWorld

When I started reading the book 'The Design of Everyday Things' by Don Norman, one of the few things that caught my gaze was a paragraph that read: 'Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible, serving us without drawing attention to itself. Bad design, on the other hand, screams out its inadequacies, making itself very noticeable.' That's because good design is all about serving our needs without drawing attention to itself. It's invisible, yet powerful. Bad design, however, is like a self illumination point out its errors that can’t be hidden. A good design is essential for creating products, services, and experiences that are intuitive, engaging, and effective. Its importance cannot be overstated, as it has a significant impact on both users and businesses alike. #Gooddesignpractice
