RR03

Chapters 4-6 were a good and informative read, though slow at times.  I really like how each chapter was on a different field of design (Industrial, Visual Communications, and Interior).  Chapter 4 was about industrial design.  I thought it was interesting how product designers of kitchen utensils started to make things more attractive than functional.  I thought the metaphor that Dieter Rams used was very interesting.  It is interesting to think about what is expected of products now compared to earlier on; it used to be just about functionality, now a product must have both good form and function.  In the chapter about interior design I thought it was interesting that it focused a lot on resiential design instead of commercial, which I thought was very interesting since I have always been taught that interior decorators designs the inside of a home, not interior designers.
