Task 5.1: Video Reflection 1

DAVID KELLEY












The video does introduce some interesting ideas that are put forward to us. They show how designers are constantly thinking outside of the norm and coming up with ideas to really make people stop and think about the current state of design. I have probably taken most notice about his incorporation of human behaviour and its relation to design.

The Prada dressing room incorporates impressive technology that is now available, one being the liquid crystal door for their changing room. The dressing room also utilizes common technology such as video playback in their ‘magic mirror’. The customization of cubicles concept was pretty interesting. One would think that this kind of concept might already be put out there into use, but at the moment, obviously not. Having the spyfish on show, did make the whole video a bit jumpy, seeming more of a quick display of his ideas, though this might be his aim.

The video has probably made me think more about industrial design as a whole, not just focusing on one aspect of industrial design eg. Product design. It has made me take the much broader elements of industrial design into consideration.
