1.My Argument
Designer is the
world's greatest careers, their daily life from the subtle to see different
things, and to use more whimsy to the transformation of products which make it
more practical, to make our lives better. But in the design process, there will
be the presence of such a design: With designer out of something, but in real
life it is far from the expected useful so big. It is a world of innovation,
this is beyond doubt. With the continuous improvement of people's sense of
innovation, thought more open, acceptance is also growing, so there have been
some design ideas. While these innovations out of the product may seem like
science, in fact, true to life, but did not achieve the desired results.
Argument : Practicality or Aesthetics what is more important in
design
There are Some
Examples
Example 1
Fliz Pedal Car
Because it does
not seat, nor pedal with the gear, only the frame and the seat belt, the mode
of operation is to use the pedals. The problem is where to put the pedal after
the finish? This bike just from the aesthetic point of view, streamlined body
with yellow gives the feeling of youthful vigor,beautiful fashion. But from the usability point of view is not so
good.
This Design Problem
When people ride the Fliz Pedal
Car, feet can not be placed, compared with the traditional bicycle, the bicycle
power system design problem, not by pedals only generate power, but by human. People
riding the bicycle will be tired, and has security risks.
This bike is only suitable for
downhill, when people encounter uphill, this bike can not be used. This bike is
functional too single.
The Design
Highlights
The bicycle design unique, many
young people like to try new products, this bike is a good choice. Compared
with the traditional bicycle, the bicycle appeared on the streets will attract
popular, not perfect only bright colors and sleek design good, a combination of
aesthetics and bicycle
This bike for downhill,
therefore suitable for people who love extreme sports.

Through this value
(3-7 = -4) can prove that the product design is more biased in favor of
Aesthetics.
Example 2
Have to admit that
as a Speaker, this style is very distinctive style, avant-garde. But this is
only the body without the head speaker at home may be frightened children.
Design style is very unique, but practicality is not good, Because most people
can not accept such a strange style.
This Design Problem
The most widely-used type of
speaker today is the dynamic speaker, invented in 1925 by Edward W. Kellogg and
Chester W. Rice. The dynamic speaker operates on the same basic principle as a
dynamic microphone, but in reverse, to produce sound from an electrical signal.
When an alternating current electrical audio signal input is applied through
the voice coil, a coil of wire suspended in a circular gap between the poles of
a permanent magnet, the coil is forced to move rapidly back and forth due to
Faraday's law of induction, which causes a diaphragm (usually conically shaped)
attached to the coil to move back and forth, pushing on the air to create sound
waves. But this speaker its design is unreasonable, because the area in the
positive direction of the acoustic wave propagation circle is the largest most
coverage, and this speaker he is oblique angle coverage so little acoustic. The
purpose is to sound speaker cover the entire room, and the speaker will only cover
part of the sound in a small area. (See Picture 1 )
The left is an
ordinary speaker sound wave trajectory, the right is a dog-shaped speaker sonic
trajectory, coverage can be seen from the sound waves is not very reasonable
this speaker design.
The Design
Highlights
Avant-garde design, on the
living room will attract the attention of the guests, for people who like
individuality.

2.Solution
Compared Fliz
Pedal Car, we can look at this bike
The bike design
aesthetics, streamlined body, people feel very simple but not a lack of sense
of technology. In terms of functionality, and like a traditional bike, by foot
pedal to generate power.

Compared dog

This speaker
design is very beautiful and very reasonable, its shape is rectangular,
covering a large area of sonic, and this speaker design is simple, but not the
lack of a classic flavor, suitable for business use but also for home.

3.Summary
In modern society,
with the improvement of social material and cultural living standards. People
claim these products are rising. Whether it is the main aspect of the
usefulness of the structural performance of the performance, or the appearance
of the performance art form, it is to measure the value of the product.
designers can design some of the practical and aesthetic products, before the
production of products to find some friends to experience the feeling.
