Design in society? Really, where is design? Design is everywhere it almost smothers us. For instance, I am sitting here in my dorm room, and if I didn’t think about it I would have never known that I am surrounded by the fabulous world of design. From my funky monkey smoothie to my bed comforter different aspects of design appear to be everywhere. For some odd reason I am freakishly obsessed with my bed comforter. Why you may ask? Besides the fact, that it’s the most fantastic bedding in Davis, California, this comforter holds meaning to me. A good graphic is one that catches and captivates the consumer’s needs and desires. Since I live in southern California, northern California is quite a distance from home. The point is I choose this bedding because it reminds me of home. The most successful graphics are the ones that are the most memorable. For example, when you go to the super market, what type of water bottle do you buy? Now that you’re thinking about it, do you buy the water bottle you buy because of the way its priced or do you because you like the way it looks, how its shaped, the pictures, or the brand name? If it was any of the last four things I said, you have fallen victim to the mysterious aspects of design. We all need to take a moment and take notice to the strange yet fascinating world of design. Similar to my comforter, design is like space we are aware of its existence but unaware of its potentials.
