Objectified Review.



Objectified is a wonderful film or would you prefer short documentary about design.

 Have you ever wondered whenever you walk into an Apple store you are attracted by their products and its sleek and unique designs? And then whenever you lower your head down and you see that ridiculous price you immediately think “Ooh, this must be high quality, I must have it.”. Well, you’re wrong. Objectified clearly explains the design elitism that has been spanning around for quite some time now.  That is not the main point of the whole documentary but it is one of the main points worth discussing of modern design and pricing. 

 On the documentary there are lots of designers who share their current experience and why is something like it is and not in another way, presenting you with their whole understanding of the concept of design. For example we shall say you design chairs. But you have to make sure it is comfortable and attractive to someone. One day someone will purchase those chairs from you to fit their whole restaurant or pub or anything alike. Key when designing chairs is comfort.

 Many other points apply to this. But that is for you to see in the documentary.
Otherwise you could see the documentary ranging from people who make personalized computers to chair designers and other furniture or tool designers.

 When I first watched it I thought it would be the same old stuff you could see everyone telling you, but it points out how the designers think, which I found interesting. There are other points that matter but were focused on lowly because mostly they do not matter.

To sum it all up, design is a process going and progressing.

  • Humans want new things.
  • It gets a 10/10 for a review score.
  • A must watch for designers, be you a software interface designer, kitchen appliances, anything.
