Talking Point: Good or Bad by Design

44 Conversations

Pencil and Design LayoutIn the course of our everyday lives, we come across objects that are a delight to use; they're well designed, attractive and functional. Conversely, how many times have you cursed an object for being sub-standard and badly designed? Tell us about the objects you love most and least.

Well-designed Object

  • Think of an object that you consider to be really well designed.
  • Explain why you think it works so well.
  • Defend your object's strengths against other suggestions!

Badly-designed Object

  • This time, think of an object that, in your view, is badly designed.
  • In which ways does this product fail to perform adequately?
  • Can you think of a way of improving your object, or someone else's? Suggest away!

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
