Just Simple

A few weeks ago I found this cartoon from the 1970′s explaining design to the public. The film explains the importance of design and how it improves everyday life. It also explains the pitfalls of bad and impractical design.

It’s interesting for me, that the ideas behind design haven’t changed that much since the 1970′s. In fact most of what it is said in the video can be compared to Donald Norman’s “Emotional Design”. Design should be functional but also aesthetically pleasing. It’s a pretty interesting video and worth watching.

It’s an interesting question, since sometimes I don’t know what motivates me to get up in the morning. It use to be learning something new. Now it’s developing a portfolio for future employers or to start my business.

This video explains what can motivate us into doing a good job. I do agree with some points, since I tend to think if I didn’t have to work I could a lot done. If you have a spare  10 minutes it’s definitely worth a watch, and it’s entertaining too!
