Reflections Phase-2 | Journey of an object

How is the form of an object driven by the functional and emotional needs of its user?

The idea of an object always comes from the usage we required and then the ideas of its working and benefits are noted down. Then its proper functional and emotional need are discussed and designed. The designing of the product changes according to the experiments and theories. For example, the toothpaste was invented to treat the tooth decay and then the glass containers were invented for its packaging and can be carried easily. Then this packaging was replaced by the squeezable tubes to increase the durability. This all thing shows how did the products invent w.r.t. the needs. The form of the object changes due to many factors which makes our life simpler makes us smarter, helps us to be healthy, experience, sensory appeal, makes everyone stay connected, saves our money and most important works better. These factors help in identifying the functional needs of the users. And the factors that make us feel ourselves, comfortable, free, optimistic, liked, curious for knowledge, get noticed and must stay in control. These factors help in identifying the emotional needs of the user. By considering all the above factors result in the development of the new form of the object. The object is then improved by studying its ergonomics by holding ts from various angles and identifying the handling aspects and finalising its form and then produced in the industries. Even the machines in the industries all go under these factors and then invented to make the jobs more functionally and emotionally better.
