3 examples of good design objects
Television
Its purpose is for viewing. Individuals sit to get updated on the news and day to day events of the society. Information gotten ranges from news, sports, entertainment etc. Evolving from the Era of the old black and white tube television, it has developed today to the extent we now have smart TVs. This is where the Television is connected to the internet and viewing contents are widened beyond local scope. The users can engage in streaming via services like Netflix etc. Aside leisure and entertainment, in most offices and schools the Television is deployed for wider viewing of project or work presentations. In design its length and breadth used to be smaller but larger in width. In recent times, the length and breadth seem to be increasing but the width has reduced drastically. In actual fact, a slimmer width is now a selling point along with new updated and advanced features and picture quality. The designs & quality some manufacturers are trying to achieve is to have the television hanging on the wall with an art work, and not being able to tell the difference between the television and an original picture when placed side by side.
Pen
Has a unique design that has been sustained for so many years. You can barely see the pen evolving in recent times. Used for writing, it has retained a particular size in terms of height, weight and width. Its design was well crafted to match the human hand, such that the hand is not strained in writing for 10mins or 10hrs. The earlier form of pens were the quills, they were much lighter and were dipped in ink every few seconds. But today’s pen has an ink tank with it that lasts the user for so long that most people who started using a particular pen as new barely finish the ink, it is either it got lost, transferred to a new user or got destroyed. Another feature in the pen is the tip for writing. Most pens have a tiny ball that rolls along and administers the ink while writing. You do not see the ink spill out of that tip even when not in use, neither does it dry out. The few features to make a pen interesting in recent times include, some have varying colors, or one pen having up to 6 colors (the one in this picture has two lights a torch and red pointer light feature).
Cellphone
When you enter a public bus or train, you find 95% of its occupants using this small gadgets. The other 5% who do not use this device is a parent with a toddler seeking attention or an elderly not bothered with modern gadgets but appreciating the view of nature while comparing how things were when they were younger with things now. It is designed to fit your palm, can easily fit into any pocket of an outfit. It has speakers for listening to music or video and a port for headphones or Bluetooth feature to listen to contents privately. Its screen is designed to give you a similar viewing experience while watching a movie or talking to another like you have with the television. Its portable design and features has almost rendered the TV and radio obsolete. If the TV could talk I am sure it would say “let me see you connect a PS console to yourself, with two individuals having the maximum experience they do with me”. The battery also matches its slim design that you forget it does actually use a battery which can power more than a day depending on average usage.
